Tiger Woods Is Back in Rehab — After Flying Home to Be With Vanessa Trump

Tiger Woods took a brief detour from his recovery to be with the people who matter — and now he’s back to the work of getting well.

The 50-year-old returned to his rehab facility in Switzerland this week after flying to the U.S. to support his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, following her recent breast cancer diagnosis. Page Six confirmed the trip, and a source close to Woods told PEOPLE: “Tiger should be in a planned program for a while more. He is doing fine and on the road to a healthier future.”

The same insider added that Woods is “doing what is necessary to get healthy and move forward in his life.”

The Road Here

Woods entered treatment after his arrest in March following a two-car rollover crash near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida. The DUI charge marked another difficult chapter in a life that has already had more than a few. His decision to seek treatment, and to stay in it even through personal upheaval, reads as something different from the Tiger Woods of even five years ago.

The detour to support Vanessa — who publicly revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month — didn’t derail the program. It was a pause, and then a return. Sources say the plan was always to go back.

Memorial Day

Woods also made his first social media appearance since entering treatment, posting an Instagram Story on Memorial Day honoring veterans. “My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service,” he wrote. It was quiet and personal — and a reminder that he’s still present, even while stepping back from everything else.
