Tiger Woods granted leave to seek inpatient treatment abroad

Court filings say Tiger Woods received approval to travel outside the U.S. for comprehensive inpatient treatment after a recent DUI arrest; he has pleaded not guilty and is seeking a jury trial.

Tiger Woods was granted permission to travel outside the United States to receive "comprehensive inpatient treatment," a motion filed in Florida stated. The request came after his arrest following a two-car rollover crash near his home in Jupiter Island, Florida. His attorney said repeated public exposure in the U.S. had compromised his privacy and would hinder treatment. Woods announced he is stepping away for an undisclosed period to focus on his health. Known details: - A Florida court filing said Woods was granted approval to travel abroad for comprehensive inpatient care because privacy concerns limit treatment options in the United States. - The arrest followed a two-car rollover crash; he faces charges including driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a urinalysis. - He has pleaded not guilty and is seeking a jury trial. - Organizers confirmed he will not attend next week’s Masters events where he had scheduled appearances. Summary: The motion frames the out-of-country treatment as necessary for both intensive clinical care and privacy. Further court scheduling was not specified in the filing, and next procedural steps remain undetermined at this time.
