Tiger Woods tweets he’s completed “intensive program”
Tiger Woods has completed his course of “professional help,” the 41-year-old golfer tweeted Monday.
Woods indicated he spent the last two weeks receiving treatment somewhere outside of Florida.
“I recently completed an out of state private intensive program. I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family and friends. I am so very thankful for all of the support I’ve received.”
Woods was found sleeping at the wheel of his Mercedes sedan early Memorial Day morning less than 10 miles from his home in Jupiter, Florida.
Later in the day of May 29, he indicated his condition was the result of the interaction of the cocktail of medications he was taking in the wake of a mid-April back surgery and that alcohol was not involved.
The golfer issued a statement in mid-June indicating he was receiving help to manage medications for pain and persistent sleep issues.
Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent, told ESPN at the time,
“Tiger has been dealing with so much pain physically. And that leads to insomnia and sleep issues. This has been going on for a long time.”
Woods has had four back surgeries since March of 2014. He hasn’t played a competitive round since withdrawing after the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic in February.
With the second major of 2026 now behind us, the PGA Tour arrives in Texas for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
GolfWRX Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, is on site at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, and he’s already captured several WITBs and a look at some new colorways of just-spotted L.A.B. Golf VZN.1i putters.

I wish him well. Would like to see him become more involved with teaching average kids, not involved in some hi PR big name big $ stuff. Just go to the high schools in big cities and give some instructions. Don’t sell yourself to those in the big time golf schools, with Harmon or Haney or Peltz. Spend time with enlisted military and their kids.
I doubt Tiger will ever play competitive again, regular or seniors. I don’t think his body can do it.

Why would Earl see anything wrong? After all, he was married with kids divorces in 68 in Mexico married again in 69 to Tigers mother. The apple never falls far from the tree.

Fake like votes. Please don’t, WRX. Faking opinion ratings no longer works. Woods has not completed anything in years, specifically the 2013 Bridgestone.

Must have been a 24 hr intensive therapy rehab.
Two weeks? Tiger, you’re fooling yourself … and us. Gheez. Stop the insanity. 🙂

You guys are revealing your lack of understanding here. He never said he was cured after two weeks. He simply went inpatient for two weeks and is now out continuing his rehab. He will be in recovery the rest of his life as there is no cure. So give the man a break and wish him the best

For an ordinary person, someone who is not mentally or physically very strong, they say it actually takes about 10 real years to completely be rid of the addiction, the feeling, the taste, the desire, the thoughts of the thing that ailed you, after making yourself be completely AWAY from the thing, totally far away and nowhere near it to have it completely out your system, to one day wake up and realize, oh yeah, I am finally normal again, of that clear feeling of how it used to be before the addiction started in the first place.
2 weeks is nothing. He’ll back on the it soon, if not next month. He’ll cheat on himself again.

hmmm.. I was addicted to exactly the same 2 drugs – it took me 17 months in a hard core/no frills drug rehab to get well – if only I’d known 2 weeks was all I needed !

Hello, My name is Eldrick and I am an addict.
Sorry Charlie, just because you have completed a rehab program does not mean you are cured. You have a lifetime of struggle ahead of you. As your so called sex addiction problem has proven, once an addict always an addict.

went to a luxury rehab for two weeks he is a hero. two weeks to overcome addiction is all it takes……………for him and his agent to spin a story. he is a joke, greatest golfer I ever seen, but now a joke.

They say it normally takes about 10 years completely AWAY from what addiction you had, to be completed “cured” of it, with a ton of work and getting nowhere near that addictive thing, whether it be alcohol, drugs, or sex, so you no longer have any thoughts, feelings, taste or craving about it, to get it completely out of your body’s system and out of mind – that is the joke to be human, by the way –
2 weeks ain’t gonna do jack, he’ll be off the wagon soon if not next month

Hope Tiger gets well physically and emotionally. Thank goodness he stepped up to get treatment for his addiction to pain pills. Many folks don’t and end up dead. He was a great golfer and it would be nice to see him make a comeback and then move on to the SR tour. And even better find some peace and happiness in his personal life

Why can’t he get on a Mediterranean Diet, mix running with cycling, and do resistance/wts. training only for golf-specific motions the rest of his golfing-able life? He could be an become a new cat and begin to resemble a powerful contender again for the last 6-8 or more seasons he’s on the PGA Tour, then absolutely dominate the Champions Tour from age 50 and on!

Tiger should just hang up his Nikes and stay home counting his WITB money stash …. and find another hot blond to make his painful life bearable …. or does his bad back stop him from doing that too?!!

It’s too bad he didn’t take more time off to start with and really get himself healthy. In both body and spirit. I would like to see him be able to play again one day I’m sure he’s not happy with his life right now.

Hats off to Tiger for working to declare his INDEPENDENCE from prescription pain pills this 4th of July! He is most likely taking a drug to help curb his addiction to the pain pills. This is accepted medical practice. Tiger has proven that he is like the rest of us- HUMAN. Bad things can happen to good people and many become addicted to pain pills (Prince, etc.). The good news for Tiger is that he sought treatment before it escalated even further. Many people addicted to pain pills move to heroin when their prescription wears out because they can’t afford to buy pain pills on the open market but still chase the high. Heroin is a cheap substitute and it’s causing a major epidemic of overdose deaths in our country. I wish Tiger nothing but the best as he attempts to get his life in order.
