After weeks of speculation, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem has confirmed that Tiger Woods indeed went to rehab. Until now, no one has verified that the 34-year-old golfer -- who infamously cheated on his wife Elin with several women -- had sought treatment.
"He got out of rehab last week ... and he spent some time with his family, and he has time for this tomorrow and he'll address the details of that tomorrow," Finchem tells ABC News.

Reports have claimed that Woods, 34, was treated for sex addiction at the Pine Grove Behavorial Health and Addiction Services clinic in southern Mississippi, but Finchem, who has talked to the golfer, declined to confirm. He also did not reveal what he and Woods have talked about.

Woods is set to apologize publicly for the first time Friday at 11 a.m. at the PGA's Florida headquarters. Finchem declined to elaborate on what Woods might say.

A purported transcript of Woods' public apology hit the web Thursday, but representatives for the golfer say it is "absolutely false," according to the New York Daily News. In the faux transcript, Woods reveals that he and his wife have agreed to "live apart" and that he will return to golf in April.
On Wednesday, Woods was photographed jogging - his first appearance in three months. On Thursday, he was photographed golfing near his Orlando, Fla., home.

12This will be very interesting, why can't any reporters or news people ask any questions? Sorry I didn't say this before in my first comment! No point in these people being there if he won't answer questions!
He makes me sick. Sure, he's only human, but still. There are a lot of men out there that don't do what he did. It was disrespectful to his family. I used to follow him in golf. Not anymore. I have ZERO respect for him.
ARROGANT POS............... I DON'T WATCH GOLF, SO ALL I ASK IS...PUT HIM BACK ON THE GREEN SO THEN I WONT HAVE TO SEE HIM...SICK TO DEATH ABOUT HEARING TIGER THIS....TIGER THAT...
FYI, PGA has already confirmed right now that Tiger is only taking a little break from rehab to work on the things that he has wanted to do before GOING BACK TO REHAB, DUMBA$$E$! I KNEW IT! People Magazine already said yesterday that EVERYTHING he's doing right now is FOR ELIN! After he's done with his speech, he's going back home and straight back to rehab! SERIOUSLY, I FEEL FOR TIGER AND ELIN! YEA, TIGER IS A CHEATER, BUT HE'S STILL A HUMAN BEING, BELIEVE IT OR NOT! IT'S THE MEDIA THAT'S STAGING EVERYTHING MAKING HIM THE BAD PERSON WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH! Filter out the haters, Tiger and Elin! AS ONE HUMAN BEING TO ANOTHER, I TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU AND ELIN, YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT! Haters, save your comments because you will use them again when the next cheater gets caught, it might be someone you look up to too...SIGH!!!
ALL THE PHOTOS WERE STAGED, TMZ HAS PHOTOS OF THE STAGED PHOTO SHOOT.
Rehab is a cop out for rich celebrities who think their bad behavior will go away if they "claim" to be rehabilitated. He was treated less than 3-4 days per each mistress (at least that we know of.)
Go away, Tiger. Run Elin!!
This sicko lying creep of a human being could have killed his wife by giving her AIDS, or giving her at least HIV or STD'S. He had NO concern at ALL for his wife, the mother of his kids. Heck, doesn't care about his kids, when was he ever home? He was either on a golf course, practicing golf, in a nightclub, having sex with a h0, or playing poker. Why in the world did this self-centered creep get married in the first place? I wish he'd stay away forever. The guy's repulsive. The ONLY reason he is sorry is because he finally got caught, otherwise he'd STILL be doing it. Elin can't watch him 24/7, and he's going to be on his phone and texting. RUN, Elin. Divorce this lying creep, a shame she will always have to deal with him due to the kids. Yeah, when they're older they can read all about their sicko dad on the internet, and what he put their mom through. What a joke of a person Woods is. I give him 1 month at most and he'll be caught again. Let him go Elin, find a decent man who has morals.
Well, here we are plagued again with Tiger Woods stories. He should take his azz back to rehab so we don't have to look at his fat ugly face any longer. Looks like he needs himself a good work out video to do about 4 hours a day. Pile fat on top of already ugly and you have disgusting!
tiger is the best!!!!
The MEDIA has been spinning its own web of lies about Tiger and Elin since DAY ONE! I, myself, had caught RADAR ONLINE with their own lies and realized a lot of things were made up and staged by the MEDIA! I knew they were going to make the both of them look bad no matter what! It's your choice to fall for it, but I WON'T BE DUPED BY THE MEDIA AGAIN! NOW IT'S CONFIRMED BY THE PGA TOUR COMMISSIONER THAT HE DID GO TO REHAB AND IS STILL IN REHAB, TREATING AT HOME! All this talk about not being in rehab is now confirmed as a LIE! Along with the rest of the lies, the H@@KERS have been saying...hah, even their own family and friends said they were liars! It's funny how some people say don't believe what Tiger says, but yet they've believed what the wh@res have said! This shows how much intelligence you have believing in uneducated, money-hungry, home-wrecking, media s!ults! That's all I have to say!!!
