Experiencing rumors of ending a relationship that has endured for over two decades is truly disheartening. Tiger Woods currently finds himself in a comparable situation, with swirling allegations of his separation from Nike dominating discussions within the golf world over the past couple of days.

Despite Woods not confirming the news, he has once again demonstrated his resilience. This isn’t the first instance where the 47-year-old has found himself in such a situation. While many athletes typically opt for a low-key response to such rumors, Mr. T has chosen a distinctive approach to shift everyone’s focus. He has made headlines with a positive update.

“I am excited to share that we have begun the first phase of developing @marcellaclub, @tgr.design’s 18-hole championship golf course project in Park City, Utah.” The 15-time major champion used his social media to reveal the news to the world.

The Marcella Club will be the first mountain course design for Tiger’s TGR Design. “The course will take advantage of the incredibly long-range vistas while also incorporating contrasting intimate valleys between the ridges to create a truly unique and memorable gold experience,” according to TGR Design. The Marcella Club is the 13th course on TGR Design’s list of tracks that include a mix of short courses and 18-hole championship venues.

The club is set to be private with amenities located on the slopes of Deer Valley, Historic Main Street Park City, and Jordanelle Ridge, which will be the site of a new TGR Design golf facility with 360-degree views of the Uinta Mountains, Jordanelle Reservoir, Deer Valley Resort and the Heber Valley with Mount Timpanogos also visible from a distance.

Just days after the Nike contract-ending rumor began dominating the golf world, Woods shared this update. The American professional golfer, who has exclusively sported FootJoy golf shoes since his comeback at the 2022 Masters, appears poised to conclude his 27-year relationship with Nike. Even his impressive performance at the 2023 Hero World Challenge was eclipsed by the circulating rumors of the Nike contract ending.

With the current update, Tiger Woods might be hoping to get back to being in his fans’ hearts and discussions for the right reasons. And since he is not new to golf course design, it already looks like a win for him.
