PopStroke Golf, Restaurant To Open Near University Town Center

SARASOTA, FL — PopStroke Entertainment, a casual golfing and dining concept co-owned by golfer Tiger Woods and Greg Bartoli, plans to expand with seven new locations in three states, including one in Sarasota.

This technology-infused golf-entertainment concept features a 36-hole putting facility from Woods and his TGR Design team coupled with an outdoor dining area with a full menu, expansive variety of craft beer, wine, signature cocktails, ice cream, outdoor games and a playground, according to a news release from PopStroke.

The company, headquartered in Jupiter, which Woods calls home, will open its new Sarasota location in the University Town Center area.

There are three other Florida locations on the list, as well – Orlando, Tampa and Delray Beach. Outside Florida, PopStroke will also expand into Texas and Arizona.

"These are dynamic, high-growth markets supported by excellent ownership groups," Bartoli said. "We are very excited to expand our unique golf entertainment experience across the United States, particularly in markets supported by surging population growth and great climates."

The new PopStroke locations in the South and Southwest will be built over the next 12 to 18 months, he added.

Woods and TGR Design, his award-winning design team, will build two unique 18-hole putting courses for each property, the company said. These synthetic turfs incorporate fairways, bunkers and rough as seen on traditional golf courses.

"I am very excited about our expansion plans," Woods said. "Putting is a universal part of golf that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. It has been rewarding to see the broad and diverse group of guests enjoying their experience at PopStroke, and I look forward to seeing players make those long putts in locations throughout the South and Southwest. Each new location will have a different course design and layout giving players unique putting challenges as they travel across the country."
