Just weeks after Justin Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving, the pop star has been granted permission to begin the planning stages for opening a “luxury” sports bar in Scotland.

As reported by the BBC, Timberlake and golfing legend Tiger Woods (who had a DUI arrest of his own in 2017) will be teaming up to convert the New Picture House Cinema in St. Andrews into a bar called T-Squared Social.

Timberlake and Woods are shareholders in Nexus Luxury Collection, the real estate company that will transform the theater into an establishment offering “sports simulators, duckpin bowling, and darts, while retaining two cinema screens.”

According to Woods, the idea came to him and Timberlake while playing golf at their other development in the Bahamas. Woods is closely associated with St. Andrews, having won the Open Championship in 2000 and 2005, while Timberlake has golfed there several times.

Timberlake was arrested and charged with a DWI in mid-June after being pulled over in Long Island. A few days later, he addressed the arrest during a concert in Chicago, saying, “It’s been a tough week.”

It’s almost certain that the application for the sports bar was submitted well before the arrest, but the approval timing is still a bit curious.
