ALEDO, Texas – Even after his recent back surgery, Tiger Woods is staying busy. On Thursday, he is expected to officially announce his second Texas course design project, Bluejack Ranch, in this small town west of Fort Worth.
The course, which will be the hub of a private club community on a 900-acre farm, is expected to open in 2026. Backing the project are Andy Mitchell and his wife, Kristin, the same developers who built Bluejack National, which when it opened near Houston in 2016 was the site of Woods’ first US course design.
Also on the development team is former PGA Tour player JJ Henry, a Fort Worth resident who played with Woods on the 2006 US Ryder Cup team, which lost to Europe at the K Club outside Dublin, Ireland.
“This is an amazing building with amazing elevation changes and a great location,” Henry told GOLF.com. “This is a very proud moment for us all to come together for something we’ve been working on for years.”
Woods will collaborate on the course with TGR Design colleague Beau Welling.
The property will also include practice facilities, a floodlit 10-hole par-3 course, a large family entertainment area, a spa and wellness area and a podcast studio – similar offerings to those found at Blackjack National.

Bluejack Ranch sits on more than 900 acres that are home to horses, cattle and other livestock.
Among TGR Designs other credits are the Payne’s Valley public courses at Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, Mo.; El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and the par-3 Hay course at Pebble Beach. TGR also operates Trout National, a private course in southern New Jersey sponsored by baseball legend Mike Trout.
Woods’ design business is part of his many non-playing activities. He is also the founder of the TGL indoor golf league, scheduled to debut in early 2025, and sits on the PGA Tour Policy Board, which is on a mission to help shape the future of men’s professional golf. Woods has turned down an offer from the PGA of America to serve as US 2025 Ryder Cup captain, saying his schedule leaves no time to get the job done right.
