Tiger Woods continues his treatment for a sex addiction at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Woods has been at the facility for at least a week.
He is staying in the Gentle Path portion of the facility.
Pine Grove officials refuse to comment.
Pine Grove has one of the top sex addiction programs in the country.
Dr. Patrick Carnes is the facilties director and has pioneered treatment for sexually compulsive behavior.
Woods announced he was taking a leave from the PGA.
This is the message he posted on his official website.
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.
I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.
After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.
Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.

tiger woods is not at this clinic thats why the reports are unofficial.

For Gods sake…..... give the man a break…People make mistakes..God made mistake’s and he bore is soul & heart for our mistake"s and he forgave us for our mistakes ssssssssoooooo just LEAVE the man alone and let him get help and maybe he can repair his marriage
It is such a shame that your station feels the need to go to the expense of sending someone down to Hattisburg on this STORY, seems like you need to take that money and teach the newscaster how to say addiction instead of addition. What a goof!
Why do TV people think they should tell the world about a person’s personal problems? Would you like that to be done to you? The worst thing happening with Tiger Wood right now is that the TV news media has found out where he is trying to get help. And they ask their listeners, “What do you think about Tiger Woods?“ What difference does it make what they think?
Well, I guess that answers it. He has an addition. Poor guy is not responsible.
What a laugh….
Apparently the employees of this place have never heard of HIPPA laws. Even a sleaz ball like this man is entitled to his privacy!
Pine Grove better hope their employees didn’t confirm that he was a patient there. Tiger Woods will own that place. That is a big violation of the privacy laws. Just sayin.
