Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods to open bar in Scotland after pop star’s DWI arrest
Justin Timberlake and Tiger woods are set to expand their growing business empire.
In light of the success of their New York City flagship sports bar, the “Mirrors” crooner and famed golfer are opening a second bar in St. Andrews, Scotland, Billboard reported Friday.
Timberlake, 43, and Woods, 48, will transform the famed New Picture House Cinema into a high-end T-Squared Social location and will feature state-of-the-art sports simulators, duckpin bowling and darts while also preserving two original cinema screens to show respect for the venue’s deep history, according to the publication.
Real estate documents state the new bar will allow locals to “experience a broader range of cinema, dining and entertainment” and will be “crucial in helping to secure a cinema offering going forward.”
The “SexyBack” crooner, who also has a passion for golf, has played on the country’s legendary links and even competed in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in 2019.
The announcement of Timberlake and Woods’ venture comes as the former publicly deals with the fallout of his DWI arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, in mid-June.
Police arrested him on charges of one count of driving while intoxicated and also cited him for two traffic violations: failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to keep right.
The former *NSYNC member’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., has vowed to “vigorously defend” Timberlake against the allegations.
Following the arrest, Timberlake has since resumed his Forget Tomorrow world tour. During his first show back last month, he told a crowd in Chicago that it had a been “a tough week.”
“I know I’m hard to love sometimes, but you keep loving me right back,” he said.
Woods has also had a plethora of legal troubles of his own over the years, having previously been arrested for DUI in 2017. The 82-time PGA tour winner had five different drugs in his system at the time when police found him asleep at the wheel: Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC.
Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving at the time.
“I recently completed an out of state private intensive program. I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family and friends,” Woods tweeted on July 3, 2017. “I am so very thankful for all of the support I’ve received.”
