Golf superstar Tiger Woods may well be a reformed man when it comes to some of the vices he had in his younger days. But it sounds like the 15-time major champion sure still knows how to throw quite the party.
Woods celebrated his 50th birthday on Dec. 30. But the real fun will be on Jan. 14, when he’s set to hold an exclusive, celebrity-packed event at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla.
According to a report by David Rumsey of Front Office Sports, the party is branded “ED: Celebrating Legacy presented by EY US” and will involve somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 people.
There is, however, a charitable aspect to the big bash. It will also serve as the official launch of Woods’ TGR Foundation’s 30th anniversary fundraising campaign.
“It’s a lot more than a birthday party, and it’s a lot more than an event,” TGR Foundation CEO Cyndi Court tells Front Office Sports. “It’s an event that’s culminating a year of work, and then launching a year of hard work going forward, and what we’re going to do as we expand and grow.”
So, what will the party actually entail?
Tiger Woods’ 50th Party Is Going To Be Epic
While it may not quite live up to the level of Michael Rubin’s iconic yearly white party in the Hamptons, Woods is still going to have quite the guest list that includes PGA Tour players like Justin Thomas, Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank.
The menu is based on the champions’ dinners from each of Woods’ five Masters victories, which included steak and chicken fajitas, stuffed jalapenos, sushi, porterhouse steaks, crab cakes, and even cheeseburgers, French fries, and milkshakes.
The party will also feature a live performance from Jon Bon Jovi, which is perhaps the most “Oh yeah, Tiger Woods is 50 now” reminder you could imagine.
Either way, it sounds like an event that everybody who’s anybody in the golf world will want to attend.
