Sources say Woods is responding well to treatment. The program uses a pain-management approach that avoids opioid medications, a notable detail given Woods’ history with prescription painkillers, and centers on a controlled, non-opioid strategy for his chronic pain.
Vanessa Trump, Woods’ partner for about 18 months, has stayed closely connected, receiving updates by phone or video. She publicly expressed support for his treatment and is said to have pushed for professional help.
Woods, 50, was arrested March 27 after a single-vehicle rollover near Jupiter Island, Florida. He faces DUI, property damage, and refusing a urine test charges and has pleaded not guilty; his court date is May 5, with the proceedings expected to take up to nine months.
Woods had been planning a spring comeback at Augusta National but ultimately skipped the Masters, saying he needed to prioritize his well-being and recovery.
His legal team has filed motions to limit prosecutors’ access to certain records, while prosecutors have issued subpoenas in a development that deepens his legal exposure.
Whether he completes the full 90-day program remains to be seen, and the path back to the courtroom and the course is likely to be complex.
