Mike Trout, one of today’s biggest baseball stars, and Tiger Woods, arguably the best golfer of all time, will team up to build a new golf course in New Jersey. According to the announcement made on Tuesday, Trout will serve as an investor alongside several other partners, while Woods and his company TGR Design will be in charge of designing the golf course.
The 18-hole course will be part of the newly-founded Trout National-The Reserve private golf club. The construction is set to begin at some point this year, with the club expecting to welcome its first members in 2025.
Trout National-The Reserve will be located in Trout’s hometown of Vineland, New Jersey. It will include a number of amenities, including a clubhouse, lodging, a practice range, a short-game area, and a wedding chapel.
“I love south Jersey, and I love golf, so creating Trout National-The Reserve is a dream come true. And then to add to that we’ll have a golf course designed by Tiger? It’s just incredible to think that this project has grown to where we’re going to be working with someone many consider the greatest and most influential golfer of all time,” said Trout in a statement.
“I’ve always enjoyed watching Mike on the diamond so when the opportunity arose to work with him on Trout National-The Reserve, I couldn’t pass it up,” Woods added. “It’s a great site for golf and our team’s looking forward to creating a special course for Mike, Jessica, John and Lorie.”
Trout is an avid golf enthusiast and isn’t shy of demonstrating his golf skills. Something tells us that he will only get better at it once he has his own golf course to practice on.
