After Highland Park golfer Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket in three years at the Masters Tournament on Sunday, he flew home to Texas and visited Dallas’ venerable Inwood Tavern.
The Love Field-area watering hole has been open in Dallas for 60 years, since 1964, making it one of North Texas’ longest-running bars.
Inwood Tavern is a pool hall, sports bar and patio hangout in one. It’s the kind of place where Scheffler, fresh off a Masters win, can slip in without much fuss. Manager Sam Graves said the day after Scheffler’s appearance at Inwood Tavern that she and her staff want celebrities to be able to blend in.
Actor Owen Wilson is another such celebrity who has visited Inwood Tavern.
Dialed-in Dallasites watched the Masters impatiently, wondering if Scheffler would be able to finish the tournament. Scheffler had said he would withdraw from the Masters if his wife went into labor with their first child. That didn’t happen, and it appears Scheffler is back home.
We asked whether Scheffler’s appearance would bring bigger crowds to the bar. Perhaps, Graves said, though it seemed to be business as usual on Monday.
Inwood Tavern is at 7717 Inwood Road, Dallas.
