Tiger Woods is currently immersed in an “intense” psychological treatment program, as he continues his recovery journey following a recent DUI incident. Reports indicate that the renowned golfer is committed to a three-month rehabilitation at a facility in Zurich, Switzerland.
According to sources, Woods is undergoing both physical and psychological therapy in an effort to combat what has been described as a long-standing struggle with painkiller addiction. A source close to his partner, Vanessa Trump, shared these insights with the Daily Mail.
Inside the facility, Woods is working closely with a pain management specialist who is guiding him towards managing his physical discomfort without the reliance on addictive opioids. The insider emphasized the significant progress Woods is making in this regard.
Despite the rigorous nature of the treatment, Woods maintains regular contact with a few key individuals, including Vanessa, his children, and his agent, Mark Steinberg. “He’s responding positively to the treatment,” the source noted, adding that Vanessa is particularly pleased with the updates she receives.
The treatment program is described as intensive, though Woods retains the option to leave the 90-day program at his own discretion, offering a sense of autonomy in his recovery process.
The source described the treatment as “intense,” though he can voluntarily leave the 90-day program at any time.
Steinberg did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Woods reportedly tuned into some of the Masters Tournament, which he had reportedly intended to compete in before he flipped his SUV while trying to overtake a truck near his Florida home March 27.
In bodycam footage, the five-time Masters champ told cops he was “hoping” to play in this year’s tournament, but admitted it “depends on ya’ll.”
Without Woods in the competition, his friend and fellow champ Rory McIlroy secured his second straight green jacket.
Vanessa Trump’s daughter, whom she shares with Donald Trump Jr., Kai Trump, was seen in attendance at the tournament.
“Tiger paid casual attention to the Masters, but is more focused on recovery,” the source said.
“He’s getting both physical and psychological attention.”
Woods had previously announced in a statement that he would be stepping away from golf to seek treatment in the wake of the incident.
A breathalyzer test didn’t show any signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test at the time and admitted to taking “a few pills.”
And two hydrocodone pills were found in Woods’ pocket, according to a police report.
Woods pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges.
Vanessa Trump, who has been dating Woods for a little over a year, has seemingly stood by Woods amid the drama. Several days after the arrest, she posted a picture of the couple together with “love you” and two heart emojis included.
