Woods has a close affinity to St Andrews having won The Open in Fifa back in 2000 and 2005.<\/p>\n<p>And the American sports icon announced plans to open a new sports bar near the Old Course last month. The 47-year-old said: \u201cI have been fortunate enough to enjoy many special moments here at St Andrews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all wanted to bring our T-Squared Social concept to St Andrews to add to the local community and be a welcoming place for those living in St Andrews and for visitors alike.<\/p>\n<p>The plans are for the sports bar to open in 2024 at the town&#8217;s New Picture House, featuring state-of-the-art golf simulators, bowling, darts and multiple televisions dotted around the place. Woods stated how he hoped the sports bar would help add something to the local community.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/71\/590x\/secondary\/5086117.jpg?r=1701011322262\"><\/p>\n<p>However, not everyone is happy about the prospect of Woods launching his new venture in their town. St Andrews University student Ash Johann Curry-Machado launched a petition soon after the announcement pleading for the &#8220;preservation of the New Picture House&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The cinema is described as the &#8220;heart and soul of St Andrews&#8221; and the petition labels the proposed transformation as &#8220;deeply alarming&#8221;. And the petition has proven popular among the local community with more than 10,000 signatures.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>LIV Golf joins Floyd Mayweather and Super Bowl on ultimate Las Vegas weekend[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Jon Rahm&#8217;s &#8216;LIV demand&#8217; as rogue defection tipped after McIlroy and Woods snub[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tiger Woods announces date and venue for golf comeback as icon set to return[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/71\/590x\/secondary\/5086118.jpg?r=1701011322310\"><\/p>\n<p>It was confirmed that an email had been sent to local MP Wendy Chamberlain to try and have the proposals overturned. St Andrews Community Council member Neil Dobson also took aim at Woods for not taking the locals into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find this very disrespectful and a bit cheeky, to be honest,&#8221; he told The Courier. &#8220;This town has been very good to Tiger Woods and this is not the way to repay residents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;St Andrews is unique and that building is iconic. An American bar is completely out of keeping.
