"There is really no way I can keep up the commitment level that I have by playing that much golf," said Woods. "With all the things that I have to deal with at a venue, it tends to wear you out a little bit."
The inaugural Dubai World Championship will take place in November, 2009, on either the Fire or Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates with the winner earning U$1.66m.
Tiger Woods already has business interests in Dubai. The Tiger Woods Dubai is a private residential community and resort that will include the world's first golf course designed by Woods.
