Tiger Woods has added the European Tour's Dubai Desert Classic to his upcoming scheduling, meaning he will play four events in five weeks to begin his 2017 campaign.
Woods announced Wednesday that he will begin his year at Torrey Pines, where he has won eight times as a pro. The following week, he will travel to Dubai – 12 time zones away – for the first time since 2014. He has won that event twice, in 2006 and ’08.
“I’ve always enjoyed playing in Dubai and it’s fantastic to see how the city has grown phenomenally from when I first started playing there,” he said in a release.
