BETHESDA, Maryland (Reuters) - Tiger Woods may be dedicated to his profession but the world number one has no interest in playing golf on holiday, he said on Friday.

"I don't play golf on my vacations," Woods told reporters on the second day of the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club. "I get away from it when I'm at home."

Woods was one shot clear of the field at 10-under-par after two rounds of the $6 million tournament he is hosting.

However, the winner of 14 majors said golf does not hold any interest for him in his spare time.

"I'd never, ever have a golfing vacation because it's not interesting for me to go out there and do that," said the married father of two.
