Tiger Woods needs to go far away to get help.
Woods was granted approval by a judge on Wednesday to seek âcomprehensive inpatient treatmentâ out of the country for the sake of his privacy after his DUI arrest last Friday, The Post confirmed.
Woodsâ attorney Douglas Duncan argued that âbased upon the Defendantâs treating physician, the out of country treatment facility recommendation is based upon the Defendantâs complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States, as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised.â
Duncan claimed that not being afforded the ability to get treatment out of the country could lead to âsetbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment.â
County court judge Darren Steele signed off on the motion shortly after it was filed with the court.
According to the police report, Woods was found with two hydrocodone pills in a rollover accident involving another vehicle on Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida.
Officers said that the 50-year-old Woods was âsweating profuselyâ and was âlethargic and slowâ at times with his movements.
Woods took a breathalyzer, which showed no signs of alcohol, but refused a urinalysis on the scene.
