Woodland is currently ranked 73rd in the world.
The American played in 24 events on the PGA Tour this season, finishing in the top 10 on two occasions with ties for ninth at the Genesis Invitational and Houston Open. Woodland missed out on competing in the FedEx Cup Playoffs after finishing 93rd on the list.
Earlier this season, Woodland had been rumoured to be considering a switch to join Brooks Koepka's Smash GC on the LIV Golf League.
