In one of the most unexpected crossovers of the year, 2K has officially announced that Borderlands 4 will be teaming up with PGA Tour 2K25 for a brand-new seasonal event titled Mayhem on the Greens. The crossover, set to launch as part of PGA Tour 2K25’s Season 4 update on October 29, brings the chaotic, gun-filled world of Borderlands to the peaceful, polished fairways of professional golf — and fans are equal parts surprised and intrigued.
This collaboration marks a first for both franchises, blending the explosive personality of Gearbox’s looter-shooter universe with the calm precision of 2K’s realistic golf simulation. While the partnership may sound strange at first glance, it’s not entirely out of character for 2K, a publisher known for experimenting with crossover content across its major franchises.

The crossover was first revealed via the official PGA Tour 2K25 X (Twitter) account, which posted a promotional image of a golfer dressed as a Borderlands Psycho, complete with the series’ signature cel-shaded art style and chaotic flair. The post confirmed that Season 4, titled “Mayhem on the Greens,” would kick off on Wednesday, October 29.
While 2K hasn’t yet detailed the full scope of the collaboration, the teaser image hints at what players can expect. In addition to a Psycho outfit and a futuristic, sci-fi-styled golf club that looks like it came straight out of Pandora, the backdrop appears to feature a new course inspired by Borderlands 4’s mysterious new planet, Kairos.
Given that both Borderlands 4 and PGA Tour 2K25 are published by 2K, this crossover seems designed to promote the upcoming shooter while keeping golf fans engaged through creative seasonal content.
🎮 What to Expect in PGA Tour 2K25’s “Mayhem on the Greens” Season
Although the exact list of rewards and items hasn’t been confirmed, players familiar with PGA Tour 2K25’s past updates have a good idea of what’s coming. Each season typically introduces a mix of cosmetic items, new gear, Clubhouse Pass tiers, and limited-time challenges.
If Season 4 follows the pattern of earlier updates, fans can likely expect:
-
🎟️ A Borderlands-themed Clubhouse Pass, including free and paid reward tiers.
-
👕 Cosmetics and apparel inspired by Borderlands 4 characters (like Psycho masks or Claptrap accessories).
-
⛳ A themed golf course or visual variant, potentially set on Kairos, featuring cel-shaded hazards or sci-fi visuals.
-
🧩 Special event challenges referencing Borderlands missions or loot collection.
Past seasonal drops have already featured unique collaborations. Season 3, which arrived in August, included a new Clubhouse Pass, the ability to evolve golf clubs to Diamond rank, and apparel partnerships with Adidas and Breezy Golf. Meanwhile, Season 2 introduced The Old Course at St Andrews Links, one of golf’s most famous real-world locations.
Given that history, Season 4’s Borderlands crossover will likely balance authenticity with absurdity — maintaining PGA Tour 2K25’s grounded gameplay while injecting Gearbox’s trademark humor and visual flair.
💥 Why This Crossover Makes Sense (Even If It Sounds Crazy)
At first glance, a Borderlands and PGA Tour crossover might sound like an April Fool’s joke. But there’s more logic behind it than meets the eye. Both titles are published by 2K, and with Borderlands 4 on the horizon, this crossover serves as a creative form of early marketing.
Historically, Borderlands has embraced over-the-top collaborations. The franchise has crossed over with Fortnite, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and even Magic: The Gathering. Similarly, PGA Tour has dabbled in game crossovers before — including Dead Space’s Isaac Clarke as an unlockable outfit in PGA Tour 10 and a Battlefield 4-themed course in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.
This history shows that PGA Tour 2K25 isn’t afraid to have fun with its seasonal events, and adding a Borderlands-themed season fits perfectly with that playful spirit.
🔫 Borderlands 4: What We Know So Far
While details about Borderlands 4 remain limited, Gearbox has confirmed that the game will build on the chaotic foundation of its predecessors with new planets, expanded skill trees, and cross-platform co-op.
Early teases suggest that the story will explore the fractured remains of the Vault Hunters’ universe following the events of Borderlands 3. Kairos, one of the new worlds introduced, is said to feature desolate desert wastelands, corporate ruins, and new enemy factions — which aligns with the course setting teased in PGA Tour 2K25’s promotional art.
With 2K publishing both games, Mayhem on the Greens could serve as the first of several cross-promotional events designed to build anticipation for Borderlands 4’s eventual release in 2026.
🧩 Community Reactions and Expectations
The announcement has sparked a mix of amusement and curiosity online. Fans of Borderlands are already sharing memes of Claptrap caddying for Psycho golfers, while PGA Tour 2K25 players are debating whether the new season will lean more into humor or subtle visual themes.
On Reddit, one player wrote:
“I never thought I’d tee off wearing a Psycho mask while Claptrap yells ‘Fore!’ at me, but here we are.”
Others have praised 2K for continuing to keep PGA Tour 2K25 fresh with unconventional partnerships, proving that even simulation titles can have a sense of humor.
🎯 A Swing of Mayhem Awaits
With PGA Tour 2K25’s Mayhem on the Greens season launching October 29, players won’t have to wait long to dive into this wild crossover. Whether it’s a temporary promotional tie-in or the start of a larger multi-franchise collaboration, this event promises to blend chaos and calm in a way only Borderlands could.
So, grab your Psycho mask, polish your clubs, and get ready — Pandora is about to crash the country club.
