ABU DHABI: Former world number one Tiger Woods will make his debut appearance in next year’s Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. The $2.7 million tournament, which is part of the European Tour’s early season Desert Swing, will be played from January 26. It is expected to be Woods’ first event of the 2012 season. “I’ve heard a lot about Abu Dhabi and the Championship which is a favourite among many of the players who return each year,” said Woods. “I’m looking forward to 2012 and hope it’ll be a great year of golf for me.”
