Tiger Woods hopes to return to golf after his treatment following his DUI arrest.
PEOPLE reports that a source says “Woods is doing what is needed to feel good both physically and mentally.”
“He knows he needs to beat his issues and also deal with the pain from not only playing golf but also from his regular fitness schedule,” the source revealed. “People around him are supporting him, both personally and professionally. All of this is helping him deal with it enough to get through it.”
Another source stated that Woods “still has golf in him,” but the challenges have become “harder” because of the injuries he’s suffered and his age.
“He just wants to get better in all areas of his life,” the source notes.
On March 27, 2026, Woods was involved in a rollover car accident and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Woods attempted to pass a pressure-cleaner truck when he clipped the back of its trailer, causing his Land Rover to flip onto its side. Authorities noted that Woods appeared impaired, telling deputies he was distracted by his cell phone and radio at the time of the collision. Although a breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in his system, he was found in possession of prescription painkillers. He was charged with a misdemeanor.

Following the vehicular accident, Woods released a statement on social media.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods wrote. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.”
“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones, and myself at this time.”
The PGA Tour also released a statement saying that Woods will continue to have “our full support as he takes this important step.”
