Despite Being Ditched By Home of Golf, Tiger Woods Announces Another Major $12 Million Venture In Florida

Golfing legend Tiger Woods and musical sensation Justin Timberlake have joined forces on the sports bar chain, T-Squared Social. They trailblazed a collaboration to convert a historical cinema in St. Andrews, Scotland into a sports bar. This comes as part of the Nexus Luxury Collection, jointly owned by Timberlake, Woods, and others, and follows the successful opening of the bar in the concrete jungle – New York City.

Scottish locals were clearly not enthused by the St Andrews proposal. A petition to their council reached as many as 7,500 signatures, with the town’s population of 16,930 residents. Now, Woods has embarked on another new project worth $12 million but this time in his home state, Florida.

Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake collaborate on a new project

Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake, along with numerous other high-profile investors are partnering in developing luxury club communities. Specifically, the two will be involved in building a 600 acres residential club community in Florida. The project includes celebrities such as billionaire Joe Louis, entrepreneur Mark Bellissimo and real estate visionaries from Wellington Lifestyle Partners and Nexus Luxury Collections.

The town will feature both single-family custom homes and condos. Lot prices start at a whopping price of $3 million. Houses are expected to sell for prices ranging from $4 million to $5 million.

Tiger Woods is supporting the project so of course it will have a top-notch golf course. In addition there are also plans to build a new clubhouse with a world-class golf course. The golf course was designed by Pete Dye and is currently under renovation. A separate clubhouse for golf instruction and research is also under construction.

Additional amenities in the project

The community will offer a range of sports facilities, including tennis courts, paddle courts, racquetball courts, basketball courts, squash courts, sports simulation and pickle ball There will be four swimming pools, including ‘adults only’ pools. For fitness enthusiasts, the Field House will be a 40,000-square-foot fitness center with cardio and weight training rooms, a stretching area and studio classes will include a sauna, cold plunge pool, water therapy and saltwater floats. There will also be a spa and massage centre.

Special facilities for children, including a rock climbing area and indoor playground, have been designed to promote sport and social development. The city will have a 16-acre Central Park lake with a jogging track, yoga garden and relaxation trails. The 17-acre shopping center features retail, offices, restaurants and shops.

The goal of this project is to create an attractive, all-inclusive community with a focus on luxury living, sports and entertainment, making Florida an attractive destination for those seeking the finer things in life.

Backlash on the previous project

Going back to Woods and Timberlake’s proposal to make St Andrews the home of one of their sports bars, the main concern for Scottish residents is that it would be disrespectful to their rich heritage. They fear future generations could be denied the chance to experience this cultural landmark. Especially as its an integral part of their city’s identity and pride. St Andrews Film Festival founder and director Boris Bosilkov has dubbed the proposal “American-driven gentrification” of Scottish identity, and many share this sentiment.

Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake have previously played golf in St. Andrews and have demonstrated a willingness to welcome locals and visitors to the new bar. The fate of the project remains with Fife Council approval and has sparked a divided response from the local community.
