“I live just up the road, and my kids are just south. I have to drive 25 or 30 minutes south to get to a nice restaurant. Who wants to do that every day? That’s not a lot of fun. So I said, O.K., let’s put a restaurant here,” he said in an interview with Time. The golf star was adamant to bring up something that wasn’t already there in the area. But at the same time, he didn’t want his restaurant to be too fancy for people to “chill”.
