TIGER TREATED

STILL HAS WORK TO DO,

-

Tiger Woods said Monday he has completed in-patient treatment to help manage his pain medication­s and a sleep disorder, but more attention is needed going forward.

“I recently completed an out of state private intensive program,” the 14-time major champion tweeted.

“I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family and friends. I am so very thankful for all of the support I’ve received.”

Woods was charged with driving under the influence after police found him asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz at 2 a.m. on May 29.

The car — still running — was parked off the side of the road and had two flat tires and other noticeable damage.

Woods was unable to perform routine DUI tests and two breathalyz­er tests revealed no presence of alcohol.

Woods told officers he had a reaction to several prescripti­on drugs, including Vicodin and Xanax.

On June 19, Woods tweeted that he was receiving profession­al help to “manage my medication­s and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleeping disorder.”
