Tiger Woods U-turns after sparking widespread anger
Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake have revised plans for a sports bar in St Andrews after facing widespread anger from the community.

The living golf legend and the pop star announced last year they planned to convert a 1930s cinema at the home of golf into a luxury bar.

When the plans were announced, the owners stated it was either adapt or close as they faced operating difficulties.

But the move by Woods and Timberlake caused widespread fury amongst those who live close to the venue in New Street.

The location the pair chose for T-Squared Social is just a matter of minutes away from the iconic Old Course.

Woods and Timberlake were accused of being ‘disrespectful’ to the town as the sports bar was ‘out of keeping’.

“This town has been very good to Tiger Woods and this is not the way to repay residents,” one resident previously told The Times of London.

It can now be confirmed Fife council have reached a compromise.

The original plans were to allow the 90-year-old cinema to keep one screen for releases.

Now, two out of the three screens are to be kept as they are. The outside of the building will also remain the same.

The upper level of the building and its 300 seats will also be untouched.

Woods and Timberlake claim they want to ‘deliver a family-friendly, blended cinema, dining and entertainment offering’.

A representative for T-Squared Social told The Times they will ensure the cinema remains in the town for future generations.

The revamp will also see 40 to 50 jobs created. Currently, there are only 10 employees at the cinema.

Woods won the Open Championship on the Old Course twice in 2000 and 2005. It is his favourite course in the world.

“We wanted to add to the local community and be a welcoming place for those living in St Andrews and for visitors alike,” he previously said.

In other Woods news, the golfer has spent the last 24 hours in the Bahamas meeting with the chairman of the rival LIV Golf League.

Woods and several PGA Tour player directors finally sat down to talk with Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Al-Rumayyan is also the governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which bankrolls LIV.

It was hoped the meeting would finally pave the way for the men’s game to be reunited after two years of unprecedented disruption.
