Golf superstar Tiger Woods is said to be making progress in rehab following his accident and arrest at the end of March. The 50-year-old is currently said to be in a clinic in the Zurich area, where he is undergoing intensive treatment, reports the Reuters news agency, citing British media.
According to reports, the focus of the treatment is pain therapy without opioid medication - at the same time, a possible addiction is also to be addressed. Woods is said to be responding positively to the treatment and is clearly focusing on his recovery.
An insider told the Daily Mail that Woods is being looked after by a pain therapist who is helping him to treat his physical complaints without addictive opioids. He is currently only in contact with a few people - mostly by phone or Zoom - including his girlfriend Vanessa Trump, his daughter Sam and his son Charlie, as well as his longtime agent Mark Steinberg.
The 15-time major winner was arrested after a car accident in Florida. Among other things, prescription painkillers were found on him. However, an alcohol test came back negative, as blue News reported.
Woods had subsequently announced that he would retire from golf in order to focus on his health. The rehab is scheduled to last 90 days.
Difficult comeback
Woods made his last major appearance at the 2024 British Open. After tearing his Achilles tendon in the spring of 2025, he was ruled out for the season - and then had another operation on his back last fall.
"This body ... it doesn't recover like it did when I was 24 or 25. That doesn't mean I won't try," said Woods. A comeback is likely to be difficult for the former golf star.
