Tiger staying under radar
Tiger Woods
Seems Tiger Woods’ decision to check himself in to the Pine Grove Behavioral Center in Hattiesburg, Miss., came after a lot of research — conducted mostly online by the golf champion and his closest advisers.
That research led them to conclude Dr. Patrick Carnes — and his ”gentle path” treatment programs — had the best chance at working for Woods’ sexual addiction issues. Carnes has been a nationally recognized leader in the treatment of sexual addiction since the late 1980s, and has authored a half-dozen books on the subject. Woods did his digging into the subject while hiding out at a friend’s Long Island estate.
Before going to Pine Grove, Carnes had been the clinical director at the Meadows rehab facility in Wickenberg, Ariz. However, a big appeal to Woods of the Mississippi clinic was the fact it is somewhat under the radar for the media — unlike Meadows or the other big celeb-centric facility Promises, in Malibu, Calif.
• Woods has been calling his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods, daily at her new, rented home in Florida. According to a source close to the golfer’s estranged wife, she grills him at length during each call — asking him about his daily progress in therapy — before she lets him talk to their children.
• While at Pine Grove, Woods has been reading a lot of books dealing with spirituality — mainly Buddhist and Christian, but also at least one book on Kabbalah.
• Like millions of others, Woods has been deeply concerned about the tragedy in Haiti, and like many other celebrities, he has opened his checkbook — already funding a jumbo jet filled with medical supplies, food, water and other equipment.
Woods reportedly is planning on making a trip to Haiti himself, soon after he leaves rehab — even before he returns to active training for competitive golf.
