Tiger Woods, TGR Design announce first mountain course in Park City, Utah

TGR Design’s slate of tracks feature a mix of short courses and 18-hole championship venues.

If you’re a fan of golf and mountain sports, Tiger Woods and his TGR Design company have a new spot in the works that’ll be right up your alley.

After making his highly anticipated return to play last week at the 2023 Hero World Challenge – an unofficial event that benefits Tiger’s TGR Foundation – Woods announced the first phase of development was underway at Marcella Club, TGR Design’s 18-hole championship golf course project in Park City, Utah.

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 and will be the first mountain design. According to the website, the club will 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.

Tiger Woods is going to the mountains.

Packs your skis, goggles and golf clubs.

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he and his golf course design firm, TGR Design, would construct a golf course in Park City, Utah, at Marcella Club. It’s the first mountain design for Woods and will be the fourth golf course to bear his name, including Bluejack National in Houston, El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo and Payne’s Valley in Hollister, Missouri.

There will be two 18-hole courses at Marcella Club, but the second will open after Tiger’s design is completed. His course is slated to be more than 8,000 yards from the tips.

Toddler snowboards for first time, and of course it’s adorable

A 1-year-old is gaining notoriety for her remarkable prowess on a snowboard, but mostly for her gleeful expressions while riding the slopes.

The accompanying video shows Maeve Perry receiving her first lessons – and looking like a natural – from parents John and Melissa Perry.

“Just a little break from your day to see the cutest little one year old snowboarding at Woodward and Park City over the holidays,” John Perry wrote on Instagram.

Snug in her turquoise outfit, purple-patterned gloves and white helmet, Maeve executes a flawless first run into daddy’s arms. Later in the footage, as Maeve’s speed increases, her smile widens.

Quite possibly, however, eating fresh snow and soaring across the landscape in a chairlift with her parents and older brother, Johnny, were comparable highlights for the toddler.

John Perry told For The Win Outdoors that the footage was captured on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Woodward Park City and Park City Mountain.

“We try and give our kids the option to do all the activities we love together as a family,” he said. “My son, Johnny, learned to snowboard when we was 14 months old, the same week he learned how to walk.

“We get them exposed to being in ski socks, heavy ski gear and helmets first and then take them to the mountain. This makes it really easy for them to transition.”

Perry said Johnny helped Maeve prepare for her first snowboarding trip by pulling her around in the house on a board, in full gear.

The YouTube video showing Maeve’s snowboarding adventure has garnered 25,000 views, and Perry’s Instagram clip also has been widely viewed. Several media outlets have picked up on the story, helping to spread the cuteness.

Said Perry: “A lot of people also ask if we want our kids to be Olympians or go to the X Games and the answer is no. We just want them to enjoy snowboarding, hopefully as much as we do.”
