Tiger Woods has been pretty much M.I.A. for the past few weeks in the wake of the explosion of the Tiger Woods Cheating Scandal that erupted around Thanksgiving last month. There are rumors that Woods had to secretly get plastic surgery to fix the injuries to his face, reportedly caused by his wife Elin Nordegren after she bashed him with a golf club … but none of this has been substantiated at all. Today there is a new report that claims that the reason that Woods has been out of sight is because he has checked himself into a rehab clinic in Arizona — for sex addiction:
Golfer Tiger Woods is planning to enter rehab in Arizona for a sex addiction as well as Vicodin and Ambien use, according to The Daily Mail. Questions have swirled about Woods having a “sexual compulsion” after he was connected to numerous alleged mistresses following an accident outside his Florida home Thanksgiving weekend. That accident supposedly followed on the heels of an argument with his wife, Elin Nordegren, regarding a text message from one of the alleged mistresses, Rachel Uchitel. And the officer investigating the accident reportedly requested a subpoena because he thought Vicodin or Ambien may have been a factor in the crash. The golfer is believed to be at one of two upscale rehabilitation centers in Arizona: Cottonwood de Tucson or The Meadows, according to celebrity news outlet X17. Other reports say Woods traveled to Arizona for reconstructive facial surgery that he needed after Nordegren allegedly hit him in the side of the face with a 9-iron during their Thanksgiving confrontation. A message received by legendary sports writer Furman Bisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution claims Woods ran from his house, without shoes, while Elin continued swinging the club at him. “When [Elin] hit Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose… knocking out two of his upper teeth, and breaking the bone on the upper right side,” the message details.
While I’m not totally sure I believe the plastic surgery rumor (which, you gotta admit, does seem plausible) I do kinda believe the rehab report. It makes sense that Tiger would do something positive and proactive in the wake of the mess he got himself into … going to rehab sends a message of contrition and admitted guilt. It also affords him a place to disappear from the world. If Tiger is smart, then he is getting some form of help for the problems he’s dealing with these days. This mess is far from blowing over and he’s got a long way to go to soldier thru this scandal.

I have never seen anyone screw up their image so royally. He should have kept his pants on.
he’s horny and thought he could get away with it, then got caught (almost) with his pants down. Taking the typical celeb route and entering “therapy” which won’t make much of a difference as now that he will be single he can bang as many chicks as he wants!
Dont u go to rehab when you have a drug problem? Thats like when they put Brit Brit into rehab – thats not what she needed and didnt cure her at all
@Here I Go Again — Rehab is for any addiction and can be a successful avenue for recovery.
I am not sure I buy the plastic surgery story. After his car accident I remember reading he had a cut lip (or something like that) – but there was no blood found in the car which eluded to the fact that maybe there was an altercation beforehand. If Elin whacked him w/ a golf club causing a gash, knocking out his teeth, and breaking the bones in his cheek there would have been blood. Face wounds are the worst for bleeding – I crashed my moutain bike had a little one inch cut/gash above my eye and it bleed like my face had been torn open… there would have been serious blood in his car if he had all of that going on. That’s my Opinion anyway :)
I don’t believe the plastic surgery story either. The police report didn’t say that he had a cut on his cheek, only in his mouth by his teeth. The neighbors that were witnesses and helped him also said that he only had a cut inside of his mouth. And yes, rehab can be for all sorts of things. “Rehabilitation” can address physical, mental, or behavior problems of all kinds, even things like eating disorders.
If Elin did beat the hell out of him, that would explain why she looks so calm all the time. And if he did go to rehab, it was probably to rehabilitate his career more than anything. You go into rehab looking like a cad and you come out shiny and new and back into the hearts of all of your fans. Yes. This, in my cynical opinion, is career based.
If he is in rehab it’s not sincere – he doesn’t care about being cured of banging hos!
What is the difference between Santa Claus and Tiger Woods?…….Santa stops after 3 “ho”s!
Sex and cheating to get it. Tiger’s drug of choice.
@Krissy, I already posted that joke after the incident. :) Ha ha! Great minds think alike!
On another note, why do people even bother getting married if they’re going to cheat? What’s the point?!
I find none of those rumors believable. Tiger is probably still on his yacht with his buddies hiding from the world. The rumor about Elin smashing his face in sounds like something his PR team would put out to try to generate sympathy for Tiger and to make up a reason for why he’s been hiding his head in the sand. This other rumor is just as ludicrous — Tiger just doesn’t seem like someone who could get over his own ego enough to deal with his problems. Good work PR team — make up enough rumors so that people don’t know what to believe. I’m pretty sure Tiger is still being a jerk to his family.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a secret drug problem …. like prescription pills.
I heard he was in El Paso to watch Stanford play in the bowl game.
Damn – I was so hoping he’d wind up on Dr Drew’s Sex Addiction Rehab 2! : ) I sincerely hope for his sake that he has checked himself into rehab for his quite obvious sex addiction issues.
