PGA Tour 2K23: WWE icon John Cena is swinging for the fences

Who says John Cena is only working up sweats in the WWE 2K23 world? Turns out the wrestler turned Hollywood superstar is making his presence felt in the must-play PGA Tour 2K23.

Whether you want to see him going the putt-putt route or swinging for a rare - if ever - hole in one, John Cena’s fate rests in your hands. April 7 can’t come soon enough.

In a collaboration that no one saw coming, John Cena will be available April 7* as a playable golfer in PGA TOUR® 2K23, the highest-rated golf simulator of 2022, according to Metacritic! The 16-time WWE World Champion, Hollywood icon, record-setting philanthropist, and WWE 2K23 cover star joins the likes of Michael Jordan and Steph Curry as one of a select few personalities to be featured in multiple 2K franchises. Cena will take on a roster of the greatest golfers on the planet, including Tiger Woods, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Tony Finau, Lexi Thompson, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and more, in the game Bleacher Report called, “the best-playing golf game in years," and "a downright blast."

The man who will “Never Give Up” steps up to the tee box packing long-driving muscle, but how will he fare on the fairways and greens, where precision and skill outweigh power? Decked out in a familiar red, white and blue attire, Cena takes on an entirely new challenge amongst the top PGA TOUR players on several of the most challenging courses. Players can also step into Cena’s shoes to take on friends locally, or online with Crossplay support.** Additional new content, including playable pro Nelly Korda, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Pinehurst No. 2, Eastside Golf gear, Barstool Sports Fore Play Podcast playable golfers, and more will be coming soon.
