Tiger Woods’ jet was just spotted in Palm Beach. Is rehab over?
South Florida, we have a Tiger sighting. As in Tiger Woods, the embattled golfer.
TMZ reports Woods’ private jet touched down at Palm Beach International Airport, soon to be Trump International Airport, around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, about six weeks after a headline-making rollover crash on Jupiter Island near his house.
The gossip outlet got a hold of the flight plan for his 2008 Gulfstream G550, which departed from Zurich’s Kloten Airport around 2 p.m. Swiss time. The 50-year-old left for a facility over there in early April after a judge approved his lawyer’s request to seek “comprehensive inpatient treatment” outside the United States.
The five-time Masters champ was arrested March 27 on a DUI charge after the crash, which occurred when his Land Rover SUV attempted to pass a pickup truck pulling a pressure-cleaner trailer on a narrow, two-lane road in the Treasure Coast town.
Despite blowing a triple zero on the breathalyzer, Woods refused a urinalysis, leading to the arrest. A Martin County Sheriff’s affidavit revealed Woods had two hydrocodone pills, an opiate used for pain management, in his pants pocket. He was released on $1,150 bail about eight hours after the incident.
So, what’s next for the golf legend? Short term plans probably don’t include the sport he’s been playing since he was old enough to walk.
Woods has suffered numerous injuries over the years; some were from playing on the course, others stemmed from a horrific car crash in California in 2021, in which he almost lost his right leg. Now it’s time to lock in and reset, he said in a statement shortly after this latest, very public challenge.
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” read the father of two’s X post. “I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
