EA Sports PGA Tour releases next month on PS5, bringing genuine competition to the virtual golf space for the first time in decades. And how has 2K Sports decided to combat the impending arrival? It’s adding 16-time WWE Superstar John Cena as free DLC. Presumably, this is the publisher recycling the character model it’s already built for WWE 2K23; Michael Jordan and Steph Curry are already available from NBA 2K23, after all.
“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?” the press release ponders. “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.”
To be fair, 2K Sports has been adding meaningful content to its golf sim since launch, including courses like Spyglass Hill. It’ll be interesting to see how EA Sports PGA Tour compares, and whether it steals significant attention away. Personally, we can’t see John Cena moving the needle much – but perhaps we’re underestimating the ex-wrestler’s pulling power.

Royal rumble at the tee off😂
I hope it features the WWE 2K Gameplay mechanics.
I've just cancelled my preorder on the back of this news
Strange move...but eh whatever. Now I can continue WWE's beat up John Cena mode on the greens!
Why didnt push square review pga2k23? You'll be all over EA's game but didnt give pga2k23 a look in. There is room for both games and whilst EA's game certainly looks very good graphically i dont think its content will be anywhere near the volume that pga2k23 has..
Can any help me? I've just downloaded the update but I can't see him?
This news must be 2 days early. 😁
Add Michael Jordan and boom it’s a space jam crossover
@Jackpaza0508
Actually Michael Jordan is in the game! 😄
But you had to have pre-ordered the game or pay extra. ☹️
@Bigtuna515 I’ve had same issue.
I can’t see him at all.
If u can hit other golfers with the AA then it’s day 1. 😂
John Cena and Michael Jordan being featured characters in golf games these days? Lol, why? Talk about pointless celebrity features.
@JayJ because they are well known celebrity golfers thats why. Jordan is a very good golfer and both host charity events on a regular basis. Its not just a case of attaching any old name to the game for instance if alice cooper was represented in a golf game i'd be all over it..
@Northern_munkey So now it's just all about celebrities who play golf?
@JayJ no its not but you asked why they were in it and you got an answer.
@Northern_munkey Well that's just, like, your opinion man.
@JayJ well thats just really mature...man!
@Northern_munkey Judging by your demeanor that's an ironic thing for you to be attacking.
