John Cena (Golf Edition) is coming to a console near you.
As first announced by a press release from 2K, John Cena is set to be featured as a playable golfer in the PGA Tour 2K23 video game. Cena will first be made available on Friday, April 7.
Cena's appearance in PGA Tour 2K23 comes after he was the cover star of WWE 2K23, as well as the story subject for the game's Showcase mode.
This is Cena's third ever appearance in a non-WWE video game. In 2020, Cena was made as a playable character in the The King of Fighters All Star game. In 2022, a John Cena skin was released for Fortnite.

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.
