Tiger Woods is set to return home soon.
The professional golfer has been staying at a treatment center in Switzerland since his arrest for drunk driving in March. He’s expected to complete his rehabilitation by the end of this month.
“The initial plan was for Tiger to go through a three-month rehab program, which should proceed as scheduled unless something significant changes,” a source shared.
Reportedly, Woods has been managing significant pressures related to his treatment and upcoming legal matters. “It’s definitely creating a lot of stress,” noted another insider.
His determination to come back to golf is unwavering, though. “He has to get on top of his pain management and maintain a fitness routine to perform well when he returns to the sport. That can be a challenge, but it’s what he wants,” the source added.
Woods’ girlfriend, who has been battling cancer, has been in regular contact with him. “They’re supporting each other through everything,” another source mentioned. “Tiger is really caring, and Vanessa is a strong person living life to the fullest despite her situation.”
This comes after Woods briefly stepped away from rehab to support his girlfriend and attend her daughter’s high school graduation. Vanessa revealed her breast cancer diagnosis on Instagram back in May.
“I’m staying focused and hopeful, surrounded by the love and support of my family and friends,” she stated, sharing that she had surgery earlier that week.
On the legal front, Woods is still awaiting developments in his case, stemming from an accident on March 27, when he rolled his Land Rover in Florida. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence with property damage and resisting a legal test, with a court appearance set for July 7.
Authorities observed signs of impairment during the incident, although he tested negative on a breathalyzer. He declined a urine test and later faced charges for that refusal. Reports indicated that two white pills found in his pants pocket were identified as hydrocodone.
After being arrested, Woods was booked into jail and released quickly. He entered a plea of not guilty to the related misdemeanors shortly thereafter.
Woods’ upcoming court date should bring some clarity to his situation.
