Tiger Woods’ TGR Design will reimagine the shuttered Tam O’Shanter Club in Brookville, New York, for the Armchair Collective, which is developing a network of distinctive private golf clubs. The project revives a Long Island course that has been closed since 2021 and adds to Woods’ design work as his return to competitive golf remains uncertain.

By the Numbers
  • The Tam O’Shanter property covers 148 acres.
  • Plans include a 20,000-square-foot putting green.
  • The club is about 13 miles from Bethpage Black.
Yes, But

The project has a path forward after Brookville changed its zoning rules to allow for-profit golf clubs. But the property’s earlier redevelopment plan was abandoned after arsenic was found in the topsoil, and the new course’s name has not been announced.

State of Play
  • Clearing work has begun; course construction is scheduled to start next spring.
  • Plans also call for a clubhouse, member cottages and a golf performance center.
  • Woods has not competed in an official PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open Championship, and his status for next month’s Hero World Challenge is undecided.
What’s Next

Construction is expected to begin next spring, with the project’s name and further details still to come. Woods’ playing schedule remains uncertain.

Bottom Line

While Woods’ competitive future is up in the air, his design business is moving ahead with a high-profile Long Island project intended to restore golf to a property that has sat idle for years.
