Tiger's Going Into The Restaurant Business...

Apparently he hasn't watched Midnight Run in a while, otherwise Tiger would recall that restaurants are a very, very tricky business.

Kristin Hunter in the Palm Beach Post reports on his forthcoming, The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club, set for an early 2015 opening.

“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.”

Design plans are still being finalized for The Woods Jupiter, but 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 said Tuesday.

No Perkins franchises available in Jupiter eh?

[Brad Ford]

Tiger and Waitresses!! What could go wrong?

Note to self: Don't go in that parking lot.

[Press Agent]

Quote from Tiger on his new restaurant: "I envision a place where people can have a good meal."

Quote from Tiger on his new golf course: "I envision a place where people can play golf."

[Louis Friend]

Explosive.

[hey now]

Bet he has some investors taking all the risk.

[Johnnnycz]

I'm more curious what the tipping/gratuity policy will be...otherwise...fo'SHO the service talent will be A-team quality eye-candy to go along with 8dollar pints of miller lite and 20dollar plates of nachos.

(Boring!!!!)

Greg Normans grill in Myrtle Beach was decent yet slightly over priced. I'm more of a Golden Corral type of guy....after a free continental bfast and a full day chasing a ball that won't listen into a stupid hole that always seems too small. Ahhh....all you can eat!!!

[Chema]

Tiger's standard 8% gratuity will be added to every check.

[benseattle]

Specialty of the House: the Phil-ly Cheesesteak?

[RickABQ]

5900 square feet? What, like the size of his closet? WTF? He's designed putting greens bigger than that.

[Center Cut]

I don't think my doctor would allow me to eat in a Sports Bar.

Besides, it sounds quite an awful premise.

[KLG]

Golden Corral? You spent entirely too much time in North Carolina, Jcz!

Anyway, next time I'm on Jupiter I'll stop in. I usually spend most of my time on Neptune, though.

[Half-Shack]

The jokes just write themselves.

[Gary Dell]

TW looking especially "healthy" in that picture.

What's with him not being a good tipper? I've heard this about golf tournaments (stiffing the bag boys, etc..) but never at a restaurant setting.

[Danny Boy]

Perfect setting for Phil and Tom Watson to get together and hash out their differences. Old TW can finally admit that he had no clue how to captain a Ryder Cup team in this day and age and Phil can talk about being his usual passive aggressive phony self! It's perfect conversation over nachos. Then Phil can tip $100 and then let the media outlets know about it, so he can lap up the publicity!

<< The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club >>

A lyrical, poetic name that drips off the tongue like sweet warm honey.

[Donald Luke]

Wow.. we didn't even make it past 1 post without somebody mentioning Perkins (nor past 2 without a waitress reference)... I had higher expectations of this place.

[Buffett]

Tiger's concept of tipping a waitress differs from the standard concept.

[ol Harv]

Johnny, Golden Corral and Sizzler were the team choice back in my college golf days in the Carolinas. That would leave us with some extra change for some adult beverages back at the hotel.

[Pro from Dover]

KLG +1 "Anyway, next time I'm on Jupiter I'll stop in. I usually spend most of my time on Neptune, though."

BTW, Tiger can call Phil and see if he wants to invest....Phil owns some burger franchises. In n' Out . Burger I believe

[The Ghost of Perry Maxell]

TW is going to become the main character in the movie THE WRESTLER

[Jds]

I ate at Thongchai Jaidee's restaurant in lopburi, Thailand. It lasted a couple of years, and was actually pretty good. Just thought you'd all like to know that.

[Uhh...]

Hah! You are all great...I haven't seen a thread like this in a while where the vast amount of posters had me LOL! Good stuff! Eldrick....what a jah-moak.

[Vwa3v60golferrr]

Phil does not own any in n out burgers. It's not a franchise.

Geoff deleting my very funny post was too bad. You dish it out too you know

[kenoneputt]

Phil switched to Five Guys and now apparently is part oF a group that has rights in Orange County, Calif.

[Aditya]

I bet Tiger's "sandwich" menu will be a great hit. My bet is that there will be exactly 69 dishes.

[Johnnnycz]

@KLG&harv: Yes and Yes!

Adult beverages in the hotel was always fun. Told coach we couldn't sleep on
less than 3 beers. Lol!

[G Nathan]

Geoff - I love the Midnight Run reference! One of my favorite movies. Perhaps Tiger can serve "some surf and turf action" and Sidney will "have a glass of milk" with it! Even Moron #1 and Moron #2 will enjoy it! Greg

[Pro from Dover]

Thanks Kenoneputt for clearing that up.

[Robert Perih]

"Geoff deleting my very funny post was too bad. You dish it out too you know"

And there in lies the problem VWa, only YOU think your stuff is funny. Now that is hilarious!

[Abu Dhabi Golfer]

The staff will be thrilled when they find out what their boss' tipping reputation has been like.

"I found you a dollar. Whoops, you almost got it."

[Jupiter]

Wow... Tiger getting into the restaraunt business after his well deserved reputation down here on stiffing waitresses (no pun intended). I hope he does well with the tourist crowd because I can't imagine that the locals will want to give him their $'s after what we continue to read regarding how he treats wait staff.

1st order... "I'll have the Eldrick burger with a side of PED's please."

[V60drivergolfer]

Robert. guess my self deprecating remark did not come over that well. Still probably funny than you obvioulsly

[LA John]

For location and ambiance, I really enjoy the (horribly named) U-Tiki Beach. Hard to beat the Food Shack (and its spinoffs) for an interesting take on seafood.

Good luck Tiger, but I don't see myself going into that mammoth monstrosity of a complex that is being built.

[benseattle]

<< Robert. guess my self deprecating remark did not come over that well. Still probably funny than you obvioulsly >>

Fourth grade syntax and spelling never ceases to amuse. There's a new thing out: it's called proofreading. But perhaps you're too busy being hilarious to bother.

[KG]

Apparently Tiger is now taking advice from Jimmy Kimmel. " hey Tiger, I need some material for my show...how about you open a restaurant....come on, help me out here."

[Ralph Strange]

" Still probably funny than you obvioulsly "

Jeez V60, is that some type of new language?

[V.Lind]

Wonder if he will sell popsicles. Hank Haney might become a regular.

[Bud]

Jokes aside, why in the world would Tiger want to open a restaurant?

Needs the extra income? Wants a "Cheers" like place, where he can mingle with regulars? Has some great recipes?

My guess is that he's getting paid handsomely for the use of his name, and has no investment in it. There are better tax write-offs.
