Woods’ design company is also going to redesign specific old PopStroke courses and work on other projects together. Different PopStroke layouts are present in Port St. Lucie and Fort Myers. The Fort Myers layout is also a 36-hole layout designed by TGR Design in 2020, and the St. Lucie course is planned for renovation by Tiger’s design company.

However, these are not only the short course Woods has built. In the early stages of his career, Woods designed short layouts, namely the Hay at Pebble Beach and the Oasis Short Course at Diamante, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Both of his early ventures were a par 3 layout.
