Tiger Woods was arrested on 27 March after crashing his car | GETTY<\/p>\nTiger Woods remains determined to make his way back to professional golf despite facing serious legal troubles following his arrest last month in Florida.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old golf legend was taken into custody on 27 March after his SUV overturned whilst attempting to pass a truck and trailer at speed in the exclusive Jupiter Island area.<\/p>\n
Woods is currently understood to be receiving treatment at a facility in Zurich, Switzerland, where sources indicate he is making encouraging progress through an intensive rehabilitation programme.<\/p>\n
A golf insider speaking to People magazine revealed that Woods is “desperate” to resume his career once treatment concludes.<\/p>\n
“He knows he needs to beat his issues and also deal with the pain from not only playing golf but also from his regular fitness schedule,” the source explained.<\/p>\n
Police discovered two white pills in Woods’ possession at the scene, later identified as the opioid hydrocodone.<\/p>\n
Officers noted he displayed indicators of impairment including bloodshot, glassy eyes and significantly dilated pupils, despite passing a breathalyser test.<\/p>\n
The five-time Masters champion faces charges of driving under the influence, property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test. He entered a not guilty plea and is scheduled to appear before the court on 5 May.<\/p>\n
Sources close to Woods told the Daily Mail that his rehabilitation is progressing well.<\/p>\n
“He’s got a pain management doctor who is helping him deal with his body pain without addictive opioids,” the insider revealed.<\/p>\n
“He’s responding well to treatment, and Vanessa is very happy with what she’s hearing.”<\/p>\n
The programme spans 90 days, though Woods retains the option to leave at any point.<\/p>\n

Woods’ girlfriend Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr, has stood firmly by him throughout the ordeal.<\/p>\n
The couple, who have been together for approximately 18 months, reportedly share a deep connection that has remained intact despite the challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n
“Tiger needed to do intensive therapy, and his girlfriend Vanessa has been in favor of it,” another insider said. <\/p>\n
“She still supports this and supports him. She loves him and knows that private treatment was necessary.”<\/p>\n
Speculation that the relationship might falter following the arrest was swiftly dismissed when Vanessa posted an affectionate photograph of the pair on Instagram a week after the incident, captioning it simply: “Love you.”<\/p>\n
Vanessa has consistently remained supportive, even during difficult periods when she expressed quiet concerns about his wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods has been plagued by issues in recent years<\/p>\n
| GETTY<\/p>\n
This latest incident marks the fourth occasion Woods has encountered trouble behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
In 2017, authorities discovered him unconscious in his vehicle in Florida with five different drugs in his system, including two painkillers, leading to another DUI arrest.<\/p>\n
A 2021 crash in California proved even more devastating, leaving his right leg severely damaged after he became trapped beneath his vehicle, requiring numerous surgical procedures.<\/p>\n
His troubles with cars date back to November 2009, when he collided with a fire hydrant whilst fleeing his Florida residence after his then-wife Elin Nordegren learned of his infidelity.<\/p>\n
Prior to his arrest, Woods had spoken about his desire to compete at Augusta.<\/p>\n
“I want to play, I’ve loved the tournament, I’ve loved being there since I was 19 years old,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Woods remains determined to make his way back to professional golf despite facing serious legal troubles following…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,44,13296,588,85,9244,2489,3780,286148],"class_list":{"0":"post-621413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-sgg","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tiger-woods","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-us-news","18":"tag-us-sport"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
