Tiger Woods' St Andrews sports bar listed for sale as major champ breaks silence

The building housing Tiger Woods' premium sports bar in St Andrews has been listed for sale. 

T-Squared Social opened its doors last year despite a backlash from local residents who complained the project was out of character for the town's historic identity. 

Woods and his business partner Justin Timberlake came under heavy criticism over plans to convert the the New Picture House cinema - which dates back to the 1930s - into a food and drinks entertainment venue with golf simulators, virtual darts boards and other interactive activities. 

Last month, the managing director of the Scottish-based venue, Mark Anand, admitted in an interview with The Courier that the business hasn't gone to plan and was experiencing "teething issues".

"Things broke that wouldn’t have in a single format business and we didn't do a good enough job of explaining what we had to offer," Anand told the publication. "So, when a customer walked in, there was confusion about what to expect and their experience wasn’t always smooth."

bunkered are now reporting that the building has been put up for sale as an "investment opportunity" by Shepherd Chartered Surveyors for offers over £650,000. 

According to the report, the company backed by Woods and Timberlake has a lease to rent the North Street property until 2049 with the option to extend to 1974. The annual rent is £45,000. 

Tiger Woods breaks his silence

Tiger Woods shared his first public statement in nearly two months with a patriotic message on Memorial Day. 

Woods was arrested in March after crashing his Land Rover near his home in Jupiter, Florida. 

The 50-year-old has been charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit a lawful test.

Woods has entered not guilty pleas and requested a jury trial. 

A U.S. judge gave the 15-time major champion permission to fly overseas to seek treatment. 

Woods flew to Switzerland and came back home last week after his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Vanessa described Woods as "her strength" in an emotional Instagram post.

Woods paid tribute to his late father Earl. 

"My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service," Woods' statement on X began. 

"To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth."

Woods' father died aged 74 in May 2006.

Woods has not played a competitive round of golf since the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon. 

He was gearing up to make a return to major championship golf at the 2026 Masters but decided against playing after he was arrested. 

Woods also skipped the PGA Championship and is expected to miss next month's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
