The GOAT returns to video games!

Got to think that this means we'll likely be getting a new game this year, rather than putting Tiger out there as DLC first up.

Hopefully built from the ground up for PS5 and Series X

Oh man... with how well the current game plays on next gen i can’t imagine a native version for PS5.

Also i would have to assume we are getting Nike apparel as well!

WOW... didn't see this coming! It could bode well for the series, as I would think it probably would mean a new, more dynamic game engine... and who knows, maybe even AI pros we could play along with

Perhaps the biggest surprise for me in reading this press release is that HB Studios will become a wholly owned studio for 2K. That's got to spell the end for the use of the Unity engine in the series, wouldn't you think? Whatever the case, it sounds like we're in for exciting times ahead!

Also surely has to herald the introduction of being able to play as the pros - can't think for a second they're going to spend as much money on a deal like this for him only to appear in a feature which most folk turn off.

I'm excited to see a fully fleshed out version of this game on next-gen. I agree with you that the current game now plays well on next-gen hardware with the simple inclusion of the 60 Hz vsync option. PGA TOUR 2K21 now plays like it was supposed to play at 60 FPS on my XBox Series X. It's a night and day difference! There's so much more that they could do with it using the additional processing power of the next-gen consoles. I'm looking forward to the day when we can sufficiently read greens just by the quality of the shading and texturing of the surfaces in conjunction with the topography.

You covered another point I meant to hit upon... being also able to play 'as a pro'. That's never been a thing with me, but I see that desire expressed over and over again by what seems to be a sizeable portion of the user base. I'd love to see what that would do for the appeal of the game if it was addressed.
