Dubai - A United Arab Emirates business magazine says Tiger Woods received $55.4m from a Dubai developer to promote a local golf resort which has yet to be built.

Arabian Business reports on Thursday that it has seen documents confirming Woods received the payments to promote the $1bn course which was to be the centerpiece of a complex of 100 villas, 75 mansions and 22 palaces.

Woods on Wednesday refused to comment on the contract he signed with the course developer - part of a conglomerate controlled by Dubai's debt-squeezed ruler.
