PopStroke Entertainment Group, owned by Greg Bartoli, Tiger Woods’ TGR Ventures and TaylorMade Golf Company, will open PopStroke’s Glendale, AZ, venue on March 2. This is the seventh PopStroke location. Additional locations scheduled to open in the next four to six months include Talking Stick, Scottsdale, AZ and Delray Beach, FL.
“We are very excited to introduce our unique entertainment experience to the Glendale/Phoenix community,” said company Founder Greg Bartoli. “PopStroke is about bringing friends together to enjoy the great game of golf in a fun, dynamic and stress-free environment while enjoying elevated food, cocktails, ice cream, and other amenities. The greater Phoenix metropolitan market is a world-class golf destination with a vibrant and growing mix of families, retirees and young professionals. The Westgate Entertainment District is ideal for our first Arizona PopStroke venue.”
“I am thrilled to have PopStroke expand into Arizona,” said Tiger Woods. “Since we announced our plans, there has been a groundswell of interest, and we are excited to announce an official opening date. PopStroke is a fun way for people of all ages and skill levels to enjoy time with family and friends.”
Earlier this year, TaylorMade Golf Company made a material investment in PopStroke, joining the ownership group that includes Woods and Bartoli, who founded the business in 2019.
“What an exciting time to join the PopStroke team,” said David Abeles, TaylorMade president & CEO. “The opening of the Glendale property is a momentous step in the growth of the business, bringing this one-of-a-kind experience to golfers of all ages and abilities in the Phoenix market. We’re thrilled with the expansion of PopStroke, but even more so, we’re inspired by its potential to bring new people to the game in a welcoming environment.”
PopStroke is a technology-infused golf entertainment venue featuring Tiger Woods’ TGR Design team’s golf experience with two 18-hole putting courses.
TGR Design created two 18-hole putting courses with synthetic turf, incorporating undulations, fairways, bunkers, and rough as seen on traditional golf courses. The Tiger Red Course challenges even the most experienced putters, and the Tiger Black Course has softened contours for families and new players.
PopStroke’s mobile app enhances the experience with a digital scorecard, showcasing scores on a digital scoreboard and loyalty rewards.
