A private plane believed to be carrying Tiger Woods touched down in Zurich, Switzerland, on Friday morning, a place that the 15-time major champ will call home over the next several weeks as he undergoes inpatient treatment for substance abuse following his arrest for DUI.<\/p>\n
It is unconfirmed if Woods was on the plane, but it is known that he owns the aircraft. It is further known that Zurich is home to two of the top treatment centers \u2014 Paracelsus Recovery and Kusnacht Practice \u2014 that many athletes and celebrities choose for treatment far from prying eyes.<\/p>\n
Private jet trackers report that the aircraft was headed back to the U.S. on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,\u201d Woods said in an announcement on Tuesday. \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Woods passed a breathalyzer test administered at the scene of the March 27 accident<\/a>, where he rolled his Land Rover, he refused to take a urine test. Two hydrocodone pills were found in his possession, and officers at the scene strongly suspected that he was impaired.<\/p>\n \u201cWoods has undergone several invasive back surgeries and has stated in the past that he has pain medications prescribed legally,\u201d Breitbart\u2019s Warner Todd Huston reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFriday\u2019s arrest is his second DUI since 2017. And in 2021, he got into a\u00a0car wreck<\/a>\u00a0that left him seriously injured and kept him off the golf course for more than a year as he recovered. He was not charged with DUI in the 2021 wreck.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
