Tiger Woods says US move will boost Rory McIlroy

Tiger Woods thinks Rory McIlroy will benefit by moving to the United States as the Northern Irishman will be able to practice in good weather all year round.

McIlroy has moved close to Woods' own base in Florida, with the 14-time major winner expecting to "have a few dinners together and hang out a bit more" with the current world number one.

Woods, ranked two in the world, has been paired with McIlroy for the the first two rounds of the season-opening Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.
