The biggest roadblock seems to be money: 30 million in tax dollars would be needed just to build three underpasses so golfers won’t have to cross roadways.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Tiger Woods’ thrilling victory, his fifth Masters’ championship, brought back thoughts about Tiger’s Chicago connection: His plan is to unite Jackson Park and South Shore golf courses into a rigorous championship level course.
CBS 2 political reporter Derrick Blakley has the story from the South Shore Cultural Center.
The ambitious plans were rolled out back in 2017 and still face financial and political hurdles. But supporters believe Tiger’s big victory, and his re-emergence into the spotlight, can only give the plan a big boost.
When Tiger Woods sunk the hole that won him a one-stroke Masters victory, few were more excited than Tracy Raoul.
“And I’m still very excited as I’m wearing my red and black in honor,” said Raoul, Vice Chair of the Jackson Park Golf Association, an enthusiastic backer of the 60 million dollar plan to join the Jackson Park and South Shore golf courses into one par 70 championship course, designed by Tiger Woods.
