Luckily there are some tried and trusted steps that you can take in an effort to eliminate, or at least reduce, experiencing this particular problem with PGA Tour 2K23.

How to fix the connection error on PGA Tour 2K23

The PGA Tour 2K23 connection error is not one that is currently addressed specifically by Take-Two on their support pages. But n good news, conneciton issues are a common problem across numerous games, which means there are plenty of fixes that work across different titles.

The first thing to do is to check for any game updates. New games are often swiftly followed by a patches when launch-day problems are identified and fixed. So it's well worth checking to see whether any updates area available.

If that doesn't work, your next step is to check the server status for the game. We'd suggest checking the official 2K Support Twitter feed for server related updates. If the servers are down, you'll need to wait until they are back online before trying again.

Assuming you've followed both these steps without success, here's what we advise you to try next.

Other fixes

Assuming you've tried the above without any joy, then there are some further quick troubleshooting steps to try:

  • Restart the game.
  • Reset your router.
  • Run through the usual internet connection fixes: check another app to make sure the internet is working. Switch from WiFi to a wired connection to improve stability, and shut down any other bandwidth-hungry programs that you have running.
  • Make sure you are using the correct credentials to sign-in. If, for some reason, you are logged in with the wrong details, or you're using the wrong password, that could also stop you from connecting to the game successfully.
  • Try again at an 'off-peak' time. This may be due to too many people trying to play at once, and thus overloading the servers with traffic. You may find that trying to play at a time when there are fewer people trying to play will help.

If you've made it this far and you still aren't having any joy, then we'd suggest you reach out to 2K Support for further help and advice.

What is the PGA Tour 2K23 connection error?

This error is, perhaps unsurprisingly, caused when players are unable to connect with the game servers, making it impossible to play online.

At the time of writing, it's unclear why this issue is happening. As we said earlier, this isn't something that has been addressed yet by 2K, which means we are left to draw upon experience to suggest what's going on.

As you'll have guessed from the range of potential fixes, there are several different reasons why this might be happening to you. It could, for instance, be an issue with your internet connection. But it might also be a problem at the server end, and connection issues are - sadly - pretty common in new games.

The steps we've outlined above are your best bet for getting back up and running, at least until the underlying cause (if there is one) is identified and resolved by the game developers.
