The highly sought-after pair will face off at Hainan Mission Hills complex, one of the world’s biggest golf resorts, on October 28, organisers announced yesterday.
Woods said he was hoping to win this time in China after losing out to McIlroy at last year’s ‘Duel at Jinsha Lake’.
“I’m hoping to win this time,” said the world number one. “We both played well last year, but Rory got me by one. I’ve had a really good year, so it would be nice to earn another trophy in China.”
Meanwhile, McIlroy was also looking forward to the event. “Tiger has played the better golf this year, but I feel like I’m getting my game back,” he said. “I enjoy any challenge, especially against Tiger, so I’m ready for another showdown.”
