Tiger Woods to Open Restaurant in Jupiter, Florida

Posted byBy Curtis Bunn | Published on: CommentsComments (5)

imgres-2Tiger Woods’ play has been hard to swallow — for him and his fans. The hope is that the food at his upcoming new restaurant will be easier to digest.

Woods moved to Jupiter after his divorce a few years ago. He plans to open his first restaurant in his new home at Harbourside: The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club, a $150 million entertainment complex opening this fall.

An opening date has not been set, but it’s likely The Woods Jupiter will open its doors in early 2015.

“I envision a place where people can meet friends, watch sports on TV and enjoy a great meal,” Woods said in a statement. “I wanted to build it locally where I live and where it could help support the community.”

The 5,900-square-foot restaurant will have a “prime location” in the new development, next to the amphitheater and marina. It’ll include outdoor seating and also have its own valet roundabout to accommodate patrons, developer Nick Mastroianni II told the Palm Beach Post.

“I couldn’t be more excited to have Tiger’s new establishment operating within Harbourside Place,” said Mastroianni, president and CEO of Allied Capital and Development of South Florida. “It’s gratifying to see the final stages met with support from local, national and international organizations such as Mr. Woods.”

Woods said he’s had his eye on Harbourside Place for more than two years and called it “the perfect location” for his restaurant.

“I look forward to enjoying my restaurant as much as I hope the public will,” Woods said.

The plan also calls for two five-story parking garages with about 950 spaces, a 600-seat outdoor amphitheater, a public-private marina, a water taxi stop and access to Riverwalk, the town’s 2.4-mile pedestrian and bicycle path from Ocean Way north to the Jupiter Inlet.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
