In his first comments since May 29, Tiger Woods said in a statement
on Monday that he is currently receiving “professional help” to manage
his prescription medications.
The news comes three weeks after Woods was charged with driving under the influence
after he was found asleep at the wheel in South Florida. Alcohol was
not involved, but Woods said in a statement that he suffered an
“unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.”
A report on June 9 indicated that Woods told arresting officers that
he was taking Xanax. He later told officers at the testing facility that
he was on four medications – Soloxex (sic), Torix (sic), Vioxx and
Vicodin – but the Jupiter (Fla.) Police Department has not yet released
the toxicology report.
On Monday, Woods wrote on Twitter: “I’m currently receiving
professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with
back pain and a sleep disorder. I want to thank everyone for the
amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially fans and
players on tour.”
