Tiger Woods Announces Completion Of 'Intensive Program' Following DUI Arrest
The golf star wants everyone to know that he's finished treatment.
On Monday, July 3, 2017, Tiger Woods shared a text photo on Twitter, announcing the end of his treatment program. "I recently completed an out of state private intensive program," the 41-year-old wrote. "I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family and friends."
He added, "I am so very thankful for all the support I've received."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Woods was arrested on a DUI charge in Jupiter, Fla. on May 29, 2017. Police dash cam footage showed Woods acting disoriented, swaying unsteadily and slurring his speech.
Woods quickly denied having had any alcohol at the time of his arrest, a statement that breathalyzer tests proved to be true. He blamed his strange behavior on "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications." Drug tests later revealed that Woods had mixed Xanax with a number of painkillers, including Vicodin.
On June 19, 2017, Woods told his Twitter followers that he was seeking help, writing, "I'm currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder."
According to Sports Illustrated, Woods has an arraignment hearing scheduled for July 5.
