Tiger Woods to Revitalize Tam O’Shanter Country Club

Tiger Woods and his design team are preparing to inaugurate a new project at the Tam O’Shanter Country Club on Long Island. This club, previously closed since 2021, is about 10 miles away from where Woods claimed victory at the 2002 U.S. Open.

The club faced controversy in the early 2010s due to reports of inappropriate activities involving club members. In 2019, plans for a housing development failed after arsenic contamination was discovered, leading to the club’s closure.

Woods, together with TGR Design, plans to revitalize the golf course. He expressed enthusiasm about the project in Long Island, emphasizing its rich history and golf architecture traditions. He stated, “We look forward to contributing to that legacy with a course that players can enjoy for generations.”

The collaboration involves The Armchair Collective, a private golf company. New facilities, including practice areas, a clubhouse, and a golf performance center, are part of the plan.

Long Island is known for its esteemed golf courses. Woods aims to add to this tradition and heritage. While his return to competitive play is yet to be confirmed, he is preparing to host the Hero World Challenge soon.

Brookville Mayor Dan Serota remarked on the significance of Woods’ expertise combined with the region’s historic golf tradition, calling it an exciting opportunity for the community.
