Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods Settle Lawsuit Over Unpaid Sports Bar Wages

Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are settling a lawsuit brought against the New York sports bar and restaurant they own which alleged bartenders were denied tips they made and underpaid for overtime.

A Monday, May 18th New York federal court filing by Timberlake and Woods’ attorney said they had reached an agreement in principle with Ana Campos and Jonathan Weiss, bartenders at T-Squared Social in Manhattan, to settle the lawsuit.

The parties have 30 days to finalize the agreement, after which the case will be dropped.

Campos and Weiss sued T-Squared in January alleging the bar’s management was illegally “retaining their tips and paying the wrong overtime rates.”

Only a couple months into the lawsuit, the parties went into mediation and came out of that with the framework of a settlement, according to the recent court filing.

Timberlake and Woods opened T-Squared Social of Manhattan in 2023 with the golfer saying in a press release that the idea came to them while playing golf.

“Justin and I thought it would be cool to create a place that combines our favorite things and brings people together to just have a great time,” Woods said, according to an ESPN report.

The two also own another T-Squared Social in Scotland.

Both men have other legal issues ongoing. Timberlake is in another lawsuit to block the release of police body camera footage from a 2024 DWI arrest.

Woods was arrested with a charge of DWI in March, afterwards saying he was stepping out of the public’s eye to “seek treatment.”
