Overview

  • Tiger Woods visited West Philadelphia on Monday to ceremonially christen the Smilow‑Woodland TGR Learning Lab at Cobbs Creek.
  • The 30,000‑square‑foot facility offers free after‑school STEAM programming for city students, including robotics, 3D printing, forensic science, music production, health and wellness, and college and career readiness.
  • Lab officials say thousands of children have participated since the April opening, and Woods highlighted that roughly 2,000 students live within easy reach of the site.
  • The learning lab anchors a $180 million Cobbs Creek restoration with a short course, two‑story driving range and restaurant slated to open later this year, and a rebuilt 18‑hole course targeted for 2027.
  • Cobbs Creek Foundation leaders plan to use future golf revenue to help sustain the lab and describe hopes for the venue to become a public‑golf destination that could host a PGA Tour stop.
