Tiger Woods Dubai told HotelierMiddleEast.com that it “remains committed” to the Al Ruwaya Golf Course in Dubai, the first golf course designed by Tiger Woods Design.
Speculation has been rife on whether sponsors and key partners will stand by Tiger Woods in the wake of a string of allegations of infidelity.
“The Tiger Woods Dubai, a member of the Dubai Properties Group, can confirm that it remains committed to the completion of its centerpiece Al Ruwaya Golf Course, and that progress continues on the first golf course designed by Tiger Woods Design,” the statement read.
However, the statement continued: “Tiger Woods Dubai does not comment on the personal lives of our valued partners”.

Tiger has already lost his contract with Accenture, while other companies are restricting his visibility in their campaigns.

He then added: "We will be more than delighted to welcome you to Dubai. Consider Dubai your second home.

It's great to see that Tiger is getting support. People in the United States are self righteous and vindictive. I hope Tiger plays his first tournament in Dubai. He is a great champion.
