In his 46-years of life on this planet, five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods has realized his vision to become a Putting Course Designer. The epic accomplishment was concluded through a partnership with an entertainment center in Sarasota, Floria.
Woods has designed two 18-hold putting courses that are set to open next Thursday at PopStroke located in Sarasota, Florida.
“I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the courses @tgr.design and I designed for @popstroke Sarasota, which opens on Thursday, April 28th. Stay tuned for more details,” wrote Woods in an Instagram post Wednesday.
In a news release, Woods touted the putting courses as a project that people can at any age or experience on the golfing green.
“We are excited to introduce PopStroke to the Sarasota community as we continue our expansion,” said Woods.
“PopStroke is about bringing friends and families together to create lasting memories around the game of golf. We have created two 18-hole putting courses that can be enjoyed by all, regardless of age or skill level. We look forward to welcoming a new generation of players to our unique putting experiences at PopStroke Sarasota.”
Although Woods has designed golf courses since 2006, this endeavor makes for the first time that the former World No. 1 has been involved in the creation of putting courses, according to CNN.
PopStroke Entertainment Group is co-owned by entrepreneur Greg Bartoli and Tiger Woods’ TGR Ventures. CNN added that the group currently has two other locations in the Florida cities of Fort Meyers and Port St. Lucie that include design influence by Woods.
“We are incredibly excited to bring our unique entertainment brand to the Sarasota community,” said Bartoli per the news release.
“I have spent countless hours visiting Sarasota with my children for youth sporting events over the years and have long recognized the attributes that make Sarasota such a vibrant and thriving community. With an abundance of young families, working professionals, and retirees, Sarasota is the perfect fit for all that PopStroke has to offer in bringing people together across generations to enjoy the game of golf in an affordable, fun, and competitive environment.”
