Judge Lets Tiger Woods Travel Abroad for Treatment During DUI Case

The ruling clears the way for him to enter doctor-recommended care outside the U.S.

Overview

  • A Florida judge approved Tiger Woods’ request to leave the state and the country to enter an intensive treatment program his doctors say he needs.
  • Court filings cite medical urgency and repeated privacy intrusions that his team says would hinder effective care in the United States.
  • Woods did not appear in court as attorney Douglas Duncan argued for flexibility, which the judge granted.
  • He has pleaded not guilty to charges tied to a March rollover crash, and the case remains active with hearings ahead.
  • Deputies reported severe impairment signs, found two hydrocodone pills, logged a 0.00 breath test, and said he refused a urine test.
