Tiger Woods is collaborating with Justin Timberlake to open a new golf-centric sports bar called T-Squared Social Club on East 42nd Street in Manhattan, New York City. The bar is set to open on Wednesday, September 20.
Woods and Timberlake previously partnered with 8 AM Golf, the owner of Golf Magazine, to launch a new entertainment chain in Manhattan. Timberlake joined the 8 AM deal in 2020 and became one of the investors
The T-Squared has an area of 22,000 square feet, almost enough to cover an entire city block. It will comprise four golf simulators, four dining areas, bowling lanes, and more than 35 TVs, which will also include a 200-inch TV.
Entrepreneur Joe Pompliano shared pictures of the soon-to-be-opened bar owned by Woods and Timberlake.
Most of the online fans were excited to hear the news. However, there were a few fans who were at their wittiest in response to the announcement.
Here's a look at some of the comments:

"I like everything about there, including the name"
