Tiger Woods has checked out of the clinic where he went to get help dealing with pain medications, adding he will "continue to tackle this going forward."
The treatment follows the golfer's arrest on a DUI charge after he was found asleep at the wheel in Jupiter in the early morning hours of Memorial Day. Breathalyzer testing showed no alcohol was found in his system but Woods admitted to police that he was taking prescriptions, including Vicodin and Xanax.
Woods said in a statement last month that he was receiving professional help to manage his medications and how he deals with pain and a sleep disorder. His agent confirmed that the 14-time major champion, who had back surgery in April, was seeking in-patient treatment.
The prescription cocktail was taken weeks after Woods had his latest back surgery as the golf star tries to cure the latest of the physical ailments that have kept him from winning a PGA Tour event since 2013 or any major tournament since 2008.
Woods was originally supposed to appear before a Palm Beach County judge to face the charges this week but his court date was subsequently delayed until August 9th.
