Tiger Woods‘s name is associated with more than just his 15 major victories and 82 Tour wins; he’s also a person with great business acumen. One of which is a design firm, TGR Design, that has helped make another business venture a reality, the one that captures the audience’s attention: Popstroke. It’s a distinct concept that makes golf accessible and fun for people of all ages.
Co-owned by Greg Bartoli and Woods, PopStroke is a golf and casual dining concept. PopStroke features a technology-enhanced golf entertainment experience, including a standard 18-hole putting course. Woods has been designing these courses since 2006, and it wasn’t until April 2022 that all the facilities were announced.
The first eight holes of this course are particularly special, as the TGR team has put extra effort into preserving the original design while providing a quality experience with food and beverages. The course features synthetic turf, fairways, bunkers, and rough areas and is almost similar to traditional golf courses.

Woods was extremely happy when he announced these facilities and said, “We are excited to introduce PopStroke to the Sarasota community as we continue our expansion. PopStroke is about bringing friends and families together to create lasting memories around the game of golf,” back in 2022, as revealed on the CNN Sports website.

Woods also has a Jupiter Island practice facility in Florida, which he started back in 2010 when he moved to the island. Initially, it was just a 3.5-acre area; later, TGR Design gave it a shape. It is now a tournament-conditioned turf, offering one of the best experiences for the game. There are plenty of putting courses for fans to enjoy in Florida. You can enjoy the experience while the Jonathan Dickinson State Park Golf Plan reaches its conclusion.
What is the Jonathan Dickinson State Park Golf Plan?
Florida’s government was recently considering adding three golf courses at the popular Jonathan Dickinson State Park. The Florida Department of Environmental Services announced this on August 19, calling it the “Great Outdoors Initiative.” The main idea was to create two 18-hole golf courses and one nine-hole golf course at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, as revealed on the Palm Beach Post website.

However, Florida environmentalists are raising concerns that adding these amenities to the park could harm the plants and environment in some way. Considering that there will be a meeting for a “proposed amendment to the unit management plan” for the park on August 27th to address this issue. Despite the concern, you can enjoy your game while Jonathan Dickinson State Park’s plan reaches its conclusion.
