Tags

Tiger Woods is making headlines once again, but not for golfing.

The athlete got a special mention in Mario Lopez's new book "Just Between Us," in which the television host openly reveals which celebrities he likes and dislikes, according to Page Six.

Lopez reportedly detailed his encounter with the legendary golfer who refused to take a photo with him at an event and offered a handshake instead.

"I was steamed, Why was was a handshake preferable to a photo? Did he think we were going to make copies of his likeness for profit? That was sort of a textbook 'how not to be gracious,'" wrote Lopez in his book.

Despite his disdain for Woods, Mario Lopez did mention that he was a fan of other celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock.

Along with getting somewhat slammed by Mario Lopez for his past behavior, news has surfaced that the 38-year-old will be opening his own restaurant in Jupiter, Florida, according to CBS Sports. The restaurant will reportedly be called "The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club" and is expected to open in 2015.

"I envision a place where people can meet friends, watch sports on TV and enjoy a great meal. I wanted to build it locally where I live and where it could help support the community," Woods told the paper Palm Beach Post.

In golf-related news, Tiger Woods has reportedly decided to move his Quicken Loans National Tournament from Congressional Country Club to TPC Potomac in 2017. The tournament will reportedly move from the Congressional to the Robert Tent Jones Gold Club in Virginia in 2015 then back to Congressional in 2016 before playing in Potomac a year later.

Although Woods would prefer to play the tournament at Congressional Country Club, Congressional's members are reportedly not too thrilled about hosting the event every year, and instead have approved a plan to hold it in 2016, 2018 and 2020, according to the Associated Press.
