Tiger Woods is back in the headlines, but this time its not about his recent car crash in California.
On Tuesday morning it was announced that the 15-time major champion has agreed to an exclusive, long-term partnership with 2K, a video game publisher. Woods previously was the title name for EA Sports’ golf video games.
“I am looking forward to making my return to the video game landscape, and with 2K and HB Studios, I’ve found the right partners to make it happen,” said Tiger Woods via a press release. “I’m honored to take part in this opportunity and look forward to sharing my expertise and insights as we build the future of golf video games together.”
Woods will appear in the game and will also play an active role as an executive director and consultant.
“In golf, there is no bigger icon than Tiger Woods. Like the rest of the world, we were saddened to hear of his recent accident, and we wish him a full and smooth recovery,” said David Ismailer, President at 2K. “We have been eager to announce our partnership with Tiger, whose legendary career has transcended the sport. We are thrilled to have him join our PGA Tour 2K series as an Executive Director.”
