But turns out Woods’ presence will endure in the town where he won two of his three Open titles.
The Fife Council has granted Woods and partner Justin Timberlake planning permissions to convert St. Andrews New Picture House Cinema into the second location of the pair’s T-Squared Social sports bar.
The first location from Woods and Timberlake opened in Midtown Manhattan last September. (The bar’s name pays homage to the initial of Woods’ first name and Timberlake’s last.)
The bar’s setting will be on North St., in the heart of St. Andrews, less than 200 yards from the first tee of the Old Course. To house T-Squared, the 90-year-old triplex theater will undergo extensive renovations, including the refurbishment of one of the theater’s full-sized screens for movie nights and live-sports programming. These updates will see the theater continue to exist as a public good for the community of St. Andrews during and after the period when it is transformed into a more modern space for T-Squared Social.
