X17 XCLUSIVE - TIGER WOODS IN REHAB, SAYS SOURCE

Posted on Tue Dec 29, 2009 09:30 AM PDT

A source tells X17online exclusively that Tiger Woods has entered a private, upscale rehabilitation facility in Arizona.

The source tells X17online:

    "He has been there for a few days since his handlers forced him to enter the program. They feel that if he blames his cheating on addiction, the public will forgive him."

Recent reports claim Tiger was spotted in Palm Beach with former (or current?) mistress Rachel Uchitel, but so far no pictures have surfaced nor has anyone gone on the record saying they saw the two together.

Meanwhile, a stint in rehab for Tiger seems like the next logical step. After singer Eric Benet was caught in a much-publicized cheating scandal during his relationship with Halle Berry, he entered rehab for sexual addiction. More recently, Californication star David Duchovny did the same in an effort to redeem his reputation and his marriage with Tea Leoni.

Arizona boasts two high-profile rehabilitation centers - Cottonwood de Tuscon and The Meadows in Phoenix. Cottonwood's program for sex addiction "centers on helping patients retrain the neural pathways that are activated by their sexual behavior," while the Meadows focuses on treating alcohol and drug addiction along with compulsive behaviors such as eating, gambling, sex, love addiction/avoidance and codependence. While it seems obvious that Tiger would be entering a facility for sex addiction, it was also reported that he had problems with prescription drug abuse, so it's entirely possible that he's being treated for multiple issues.

The source explains Woods' motivation to get help:

    "Tiger wants to get back on top. He agreed to put golfing on hold so he could show the world how badly he feels about what he's done and to prove that he wants to correct the problems that led to his infidelity."

Stay tuned - we'll bring you more details shortly, from our reporters in Arizona.



Tiger Woods a sex addict? Before this scandal broke, whoever would have guessed?

The public is getting wiser to stupid endless PR games. The whole sex addiction blame and drive-thru rehab has become a joke so good luck with that.

I used to be a huge fan of Tiger, but have now lost all respect for him. I am guessing he is still seeing Rachel Uchitel. She is quite the homewrecker too. I feel very sorry for Elin and the two kids.

Tiger is awful. Have another pill, Eldrick.

I sincerely hope that Tiger can save his marriage!

His first loyalty should be to his wife and kids, not to some cheap passalong.

The public will forgive him if he can get his marriage restarted and lays off the whores from now on.

Why do people doubt the National Enquirer?!?! They just confirmed this situation in last week's issue!!

GO ENQUIRER - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

PS: Tiger is still a little punk!! With an ugly mistress!!

The shareholders forced him to go to rehab, they were bleeding too much money.
Too much money at stake.

The National Enquirer should do an expose on Obama's past and regular news since we can't get the truth anymore from our state run media complex.

Rehab, it's the "new black". Gross and disgusting. This guy will forever be a dirt bag no matter how many times he goes to rehab. Being stoned on prescriptions is not an excuse to screw 14 different women when you are married. Rehab is not going to wash the dirty off of this guy at all.

Too much is dictated and controlled by corporations and shareholders. These guys all get off because the country is run by corporations. People need to learn to think for themselves because even the internet is becoming corporate controlled

This changes everything. If Tiger comes right out and admits none of this was his fault, that the addiction made him do it, fans will support him more than ever.

To all you people who kept trying to blame Tiger, I hope you will finally shut up.

"He wants to be back on top" LOL then why is he is a sex addiction clinic? Tiger is a jerk. The only reason he cares about "getting help" is so that mindless fans will buy his crap. I wont and I hope he loses all of his endorsements.

Is Charlie Sheen going to rehab for abusing his wife. Leave Tiger Woods alone because Charlie Sheen does the samething and get away with it because he has a show on CBS.
NEXT TIME CHARLIE SHEEN WILL KILL HIS WIFE.

Where in the world is Elin?

Did all the reporters covering this story do on Christmas vacation? There has been nothing written about her since a few days before Christmas. No verified sightings in Sweden or anywhere else.



Posted by: WHITE MEN CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT

IT'S OKAY FOR WHITE MEN LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN TO TAKE A KNIFE TO THEIR WIFE AND GET AWAY WITH IT BUT YET YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WOODS.



Posted by: WHITE MEN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING

CHARLIE SHEEN CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER IF HE WANTS TO. CBS IS NOT PULLING HIS SHOW.
I see how Elin got away with beating Tiger with a golf club.

Tiger is not here in Palm Beach with Uchitel... but she's here, partying at various night spots, attracting the attention of men. There have been photos of her flirting with the men in the Palm Beach paper.
Tiger's boat is still in dock... he hasn't been seen, nor is there any more activity around the yacht. Many people are watching it. He's not there.

Cheaters will make up any kind of medical diagnosis to explain their cheating behavior. It is laughable!



Posted by: Anonymous

Men always try to find anything and anyone to blame for their sorry behavior instead of being men and owning it

And enough whining about white men getting off. Kobe Bryant got off and many others. Chris Brown got off easy for what he did, and did not go to jail. Black people are coddled like little fragile babies. Enough. This is about women as victims, but black people have to turn everything into a racial thing.



Posted by: B!one

Tiger Woods you are such a FREAK!...Rehab for what you're sexual addiction?...you are disgusting...and pitiful!



Posted by: Anonymous

And that line is as old & redundant as you complaining about black people. The fact is, these women aren't victims, they are stool pigeons. They avoid all the red stop signs, run through the intersection and get banged up! Then they all of a sudden become a victim. Like Charlie Sheen's stupid ass wife. Bitch he shot Kelly Preston, beat Denise's ass and hung out with hookers! You ran all three stop signs and crashed...mind you while blowing a .14, but you married him, ordered 2 twin boys via IVF and look at you now. You selfish bitch, you married a crazy ass knowing he had all these unresolved issues, no rehab, therapy or anything else. She's as much an addict as he is, she's a drunk, nobody knew who she was before Charlie!! Hope it was worth the price of your children!!

Here is another crime Charlie Sheen will get off on. White people can get away with murder. They will finally be judge on judgement day.
Charlie Sheen can knife his wife and get away with it.

And poor Chris Brown - he was DEFENDING himself from a wild woman (who as they claim had just given him a STD) so let's try to see how they bend the race card for Charlie and for *Tiger! (Because hey, *MENTAL abuse is just as bad - or worse than physical and Tiger has given hell to Elin)! ;(

I went to the Meadows in 1987 for addiction and life problems. I have been clean and sober since the day I entered. They have a great program and I credit the Meadows and staff with starting me on my road to recovery. But it wasn't easy!

Why would Tiger Woods want to be cured of all that poon tang? He is perfectly normal for a guy presented with all that opportunity. Leave him alone and let him get back to savagely pestorking thousands of women every day like a regular guy.

Charlie Sheen...Tiger Woods...Chris Brown who cares...it's their life...they can live it however they want...they are all a mess they all have serious issues we all know this...they are not the only ones we only know about these select few because they are in the public eye and whatever they do we will find out about one way or another...the media can build you up and tear you down as well...they knew exactly what they were doing when they did it...I don't feel sorry for any of these men they knew better...and now they have to deal with the consequences of their stupid actions.

What I'm laughing about is your loose journalism "source said" about anything that you print about Tiger. You grab the headlines with your junk and foster more internet rumors that continually prove as false as your shoddy reporting.

He's pond scum, a bottom feeder. He loves only himself and his nasty women and not his wife and children. He's a narcissistic sociopath, arrogant and conceited. He's ugly.

Isn't it hilarious that these celebrities rush into "rehab" (I'll bet they're not even there, or just popped in and out in one day). They blame all their nasty habits on "addiction". Oh the poor, poor dears, they need help.

It's funny he can play golf so well, yet he's pretending he's got some health problem i.e. "addiction". hahahahaha If you believe that, I've got some beach property in Arizona that I'll sell to you.

The paparazzi website X-17 claimed last Tuesday that Woods had checked into an addiction centre to seek treatment for a "sexual compulsion". It quoted a "source" close to the golfer saying he hopes the public will forgive his adultery if he blames it on a psychological illness. The report led to speculation that Woods is also being weaned off painkilling drugs that were prescribed to ease a bad back he suffered last season.

Verdict Arizona boasts just two clinics that might cater for a celeb of Tiger's standing: the Cottonwood in Tucson and the Meadows in Phoenix. X-17's inability to identify which one suggests its "source" isn't exactly copper-bottomed.

He's had plastic surgery!

An email that went viral after being published on the blog of veteran sportswriter Furman Bisher claims that Tiger's wife Elin discovered illicit texts on his mobile when he left the device at his Florida home. On his return, it claims Mrs Woods attacked him with a 9 iron, causing severe damage to his face. The email, which Bisher says came from a "trusted source", contends that he's since had reconstructive surgery, again in Arizona.

Verdict: The story is undermined by police reports, which record the golfer suffered no injury more disfiguring than a puffy lip.

Agreed. Some people only like their own kind, shut "different" people out, and cry victim at the same time. It's xenophobic and racist.

First of all December 30 2009 3:18 PM...you need to be ashamed of yourself saying that you agree with black people turn everything into a racial issue being black in America in this day in age it's unfortunate but everything comes down to race no matter what the situation is that is just the way it is and the way it's always going to be.

B!1, same to you.
The reason I put blacks in quotation marks is because American "blacks" have white blood in them --- unlike the TRUE blacks in Africa who don't have white blood. Therefore, they are not truly black. Got it now?

B!1, my goodness, with all that vitriol, anger, and hate you'll end up with high blood pressure and a stroke. Relax.

Now you're complaining that it took too long to get a mulatto into the White House? He's half white, remember? How long will it take to get a Japanese-American, Chinese-American, Native-American, Filipino-American, Mexican-American, et al into the White House? You do nothing but complain. Tiger isn't full-blooded "black" like Obama is not either. You're the one who made this into a racial matter. Don't you ever get tired of it?

most everyone who commented on this story are so judgemental so I just want to say this I am sure everyone one has made a judgemental comment is PERFECT!!! and has never had an issue moral or otherwise in thier life right? right?? I am not say what he did is okay I just think everyone is being very judgemental and I think thats wrong what if someone in your family had a sexual addiction??? None of us know if he does or not so maybe you shouldn't judge until you have all the facts

Good grief, B!1, maybe you should move to another country if this one is so racist. You could relax more for one thing and not think about race 24/7. If this country was so racist like it was 100 years ago, Obama and his family would not be in the White House.

WHO CARES??? The guy likes sex so it's an addiction??? You people are crazy. The fact of the matter is men are as faithful as their options and for every beautiful woman in the world, there is a guy tired of her crap. Wake up people and relax!!! It's only SEX!!! Tell me that if you were Tiger, you wouldn't be out enjoying ALL the perks of that type of success including all the women that throw themselves at you. I certainly would. She is an idiot if she didn't think this would eventually happen. Give the guy a break and quit imposing your sense of morality on him.

Who really gives a SHIT whether he goes to rehab or not? People loved of him because of golf...not his personal life...so he shoould go back to what he does best...Most people could care less who he screws...futhermore all those women knew and didnt care that he was married...it wasnt all Tiger...personally cant wait to see him back on the GREEN...go Tiger



Posted by: Anonymous

If Tiger was single he would be a hero. But being married and portraying himself as a loving husband is deceiving. If you think there is only 14 other women you are out of your mind. Rehab will not cure him.

X17 Poll

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
