After a short stay in the United States, golf icon Tiger Woods has flown back to Switzerland to resume his rehabilitation process. Woods, who has been recovering from a dependency on painkillers, traveled on his $50 million Gulfstream V private jet, which took off from Stuart, Florida, and landed in Zurich after a nine-hour flight.

Support for Vanessa Trump

During his brief return to the U.S., Woods was reportedly by the side of his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, who recently announced her breast cancer diagnosis. Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., shared her health news on social media, expressing gratitude for Woods’ support. A source close to the couple noted that Woods has been a pillar of strength for Trump, who remains optimistic about her recovery.

Woods’ visit to the U.S. was made possible after Martin County Court Judge Darren Steele approved a travel motion submitted by Woods’ attorney. The motion highlighted Woods’ need for an ‘intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program’ away from media attention, which he has been pursuing in Switzerland.

Ongoing Rehabilitation

Woods’ rehabilitation in Switzerland is reportedly focused on intense psychological treatment to address his dependency issues. This follows a rollover crash near his home in Florida on March 27, after which he was charged with misdemeanor DUI. The incident led Woods to withdraw from participating in the Masters Tournament and to remove himself from consideration as captain of the United States’ 2027 Ryder Cup team.

As Woods continues his recovery, the golf world watches closely, hoping for his eventual return to the sport where he has achieved 15 major wins among his 82 career victories.
