===Tiger Woods Design===
In November 2006, Woods announced his intention to begin designing golf courses around the world through a new company, [[Tiger Woods Design]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Soltau |first=Mark |title=Tiger Woods' next step: Design golf courses |work=ESPN |date=November 6, 2006 |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?id=2651591 |access-date=January 20, 2011}}</ref> A month later, he announced that the company's first course would be in [[Dubai]] as part of a 25.3-million-square-foot development, [[The Tiger Woods Dubai]].<ref name=dubai>{{cite news |last=Wolfensberger |first=Marc |title=Tiger Woods Will Design First Golf Course in Dubai |publisher=Bloomberg |date=December 3, 2006 |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aNvm0ZjXUZ3M |access-date=January 20, 2011}}</ref> The Al Ruwaya Golf Course was initially expected to finish construction in 2009.<ref name=dubai/> As of February 2010, only seven holes had been completed; in April 2011, ''The New York Times'' reported that the project had been shelved permanently.<ref>{{cite news |last=Fattah |first=Zainab |title=Tiger Woods's Dubai Golf Resort Will Be Completed, Builder Says |publisher=Bloomberg |date=February 1, 2010 |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a3KSfSvghqjA |access-date=January 20, 2011}}</ref><ref name=sullivan>{{cite news |last=Sullivan |first=Paul |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/business/03tiger.html|title=For Tiger Woods, a Golf Course Design Business Is in the Rough |newspaper=The New York Times |date=April 2, 2011 |access-date=June 19, 2013}}</ref> In 2013, the partnership between Tiger Woods Design and Dubai Holding was dissolved.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.arabianbusiness.com/dubai-holding-dissolves-tiger-woods-partnership-508322.html |date=July 9, 2013 |first=Shane |last=McGinley |title=Dubai Holding 'dissolves' Tiger Woods partnership |magazine=Arabian Business }}</ref>

Tiger Woods Design has taken on two other courses, neither of which has materialized. In August 2007, Woods announced The Cliffs at High Carolina, a private course in the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]] near [[Asheville, North Carolina]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Tiger to design his first U.S. course |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?id=2974491 |access-date =August 15, 2007}}</ref> After a groundbreaking in November 2008, the project suffered cash flow problems and suspended construction.<ref name=sullivan/> In 2019 the 800-acre site was sold for $19.3 million and in 2024 550 acres of that were listed for about the same price. While no evidence of Woods' involvement has been found, the listing shows that development plans are still on file.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hofmann |first=Will |title=Former Tiger Woods golf course site for sale at $19M near Asheville; has old site plans |work=[[Asheville Citizen-Times]] |date=February 3, 2024 |url= https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/01/30/former-tiger-woods-cliffs-golf-course-site-hits-market-for-19m/72406689007/}}</ref>  A third course, in [[Punta Brava Golf Club|Punta Brava]], [[Mexico]], was announced in October 2008, but incurred delays due to issues with permits and an [[environmental impact study]].<ref name=sullivan/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Louis |first1=Brian |last2=Taub |first2=Daniel |title=Tiger Woods and Flagship to Build Mexico Golf Resort |publisher=Bloomberg |date=October 7, 2008 |url= https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ao2vcPf3MUek&refer=us |access-date=January 5, 2010}}</ref> Construction on the Punta Brava course has not yet begun.<ref name=sullivan/>

These projects have encountered problems that have been attributed to factors that include overly optimistic estimates of their value, declines throughout the global economy (particularly the [[United States housing bubble|U.S. crash in home prices]]), and the decreased appeal and marketability of Woods following his 2009 infidelity scandal.<ref name=sullivan/>

===Writings===
Woods wrote a golf instruction column for ''[[Golf Digest]]'' magazine from 1997 to February 2011.<ref>{{cite news |title=New deal includes instruction, Web pieces |agency=Associated Press |date=May 8, 2002 |work=ESPN |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story?id=1380039 |access-date=June 18, 2008}}</ref> In 2001, he wrote a best-selling golf instruction book, ''How I Play Golf'', which had the largest print run of any golf book for its first edition, 1.5&nbsp;million copies.<ref>{{cite news |last=Snider |first=Mike |date=October 9, 2001 |title=Tiger Woods joins the club of golf book authors |newspaper=USA Today |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/books/2001-10-09-tiger-woods.htm |access-date=June 20, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206105229/https://www.usatoday.com/life/books/2001-10-09-tiger-woods.htm |archive-date=December 6, 2008}}</ref> In March 2017, he published a memoir, ''The 1997 Masters: My Story'', co-authored by [[Lorne Rubenstein]], which focuses on his first Masters win.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Stachura |first=Mike |title=Tiger Woods' new book is a vivid but cautious reflection on his landmark win |url=http://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-new-book-is-a-vivid-but-cautious-reflection-on-his-landmark-win |magazine=Golf Digest |date=March 14, 2017 |access-date=March 19, 2017}}</ref> In October 2019, Woods announced he would be writing a memoir book titled ''Back''.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://golf.com/news/tiger-woods-book-memoir-titled-back/ |title='This book is my definitive story': Tiger Woods working on release of memoir 'Back' |magazine=Golf Magazine |date=October 15, 2019 |last=Berhow |first=Josh |access-date=January 6, 2021}}</ref>

===NFT===
