Tiger Woods’ Dubai golf course axed

Published

You can still access information about Tiger Woods’ planned Al Ruwaya golf course on his website.

Like a sandcastle waiting to be swept away by the tides, the project sits under the “courses” category of the TW Design tab on TigerWoods.com.

Unfortunately for Woods and the folks at TW Design, Tiger’s website isn’t going to have a lot of new information about the developments at the Dubai course, as the project has been scrapped, according to the L.A. Times.

The course was supposed to be “a true oasis. With a dense, lush palette of vegetation and streams running throughout,” and “a respite from the desert and the pace of the city whether you are playing 18 holes or simply relaxing,” according to the golfer’s website.

It may still be an oasis — albeit one without a golf course.

The top-ranked golfer in the world still has other projects to hang his trademark black Nike hat on, including Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Punta Brava in Ensenada, Mexico, and the Cliffs in Asheville, North Carolina.

Woods was slated to earn a reported $55 million to design and promote the luxury golf and residential complex.

Tiger Woods is the world famous and familiar professional golfer player. He is now in top of the golf ranking. Recently he has renewed his contract with Nike. That raises him to the highest earning golfer and also professional sportsman.

Yawwwwwwn. Everyone knows he has nothing to do with design except the use of his name. He is too arrogant to mingle with the masses other than his running buddy Jordan.

His course at Diamante in Cabo is well on it’s way. It should be ready for play by Feb or Mar of 2014. Fairways are starting to green and the greens have been shaped, no grass on them yet.

I would not call the course at The Cliffs an active project, that course stalled years ago when the owner went bankrupt before any holes were built.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Buy here.

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

World Cup golf apparel

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
