Tiger Woods and his golf course design firm TGR Designs announced plans for an 18-hole championship course near Park City in partnership with Marcella Club in Wasatch County.
"I couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Marcella Club to design and create a new championship golf course just outside Park City," said Woods, the 82-time PGA Tour winner, in a statement. "Utah is an incredible place, with favorable year-round weather that offers opportunities to be active outdoors throughout all four seasons – golfing, skiing, biking, hiking and fishing – the list goes on and on.
Woods has been known to be "selective in which projects I take on," particularly in the golf course design world, but said two factors played a key role in launching his intent to build in Utah. "My team has built a superb relationship with our partners on Marcella. That said, I am thrilled about the location of this property," he added. "The canvas for my course is one of the most dramatic I've ever seen. It has ridgelines with some of the most stunning views in the world, valleys with amazing contours and topography, and groves of trees that allow me to use creativity to bring to life a golf experience that's something special."in December.
The 15-time major winner and World Golf Hall of Fame inductee has been slowed by a single-car crash in February 2021, where he sustained multiple leg injuries and had surgery for other injuries that were not life-threatening, his agent said at the time. He's also been heavily involved in the launch of TGL, the planned golf league created by TMRW Sports in partnership between Woods, Rory McIlroy and sports executive Mike McCarley that will launch January 2024 and host Monday night events in conjunction with the PGA Tour schedule.
