Tiger Woods said on Monday he is receiving “professional help” to
manage his use of the medications he takes to relieve back pain and insomnia,
following his arrest for
driving while intoxicated last month.
Florida police found the 41-year-old asleep behind the wheel of his
vehicle in the early hours of May 29.
He tested negative for alcohol after his arrest and later released a
statement saying he had experienced an unexpected reaction to prescription
medicines.
“I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and
the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” he posted on Twitter
on Monday.
“I want to thank everyone for their amazing outpouring of support and
understanding, especially the fans and players on tour.”
Woods is the winner of 14 major championships, second only to Jack
Nicklaus, but has hardly played in the last 22 months after undergoing multiple
back surgeries.
