The world's top two golfers met for a one-off match after competing in Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur over the weekend.
McIlroy was runner-up to Ryder Cup teammate Peter Hanson at the BMW Masters and Woods fourth behind compatriot Nick Watney in the CIMB Classic.
Three weeks after Woods defeated the 23-year-old by six strokes during the World Golf Finals in Turkey, it was McIlroy who always held the edge this time.
