Tiger Woods’ private jet reportedly touched down in Zurich, Switzerland, days after the golf legend requested permission from a judge to travel outside of Florida to “seek treatment” amid his DUI case.
The professional athlete’s plane is said to have landed in the European country early Friday morning, according to TMZ.
Page Six was unable to independently confirm if Woods, 50, was aboard the flight to Zurich when it landed.
The outlet reported that the plane is already on its way back to the US.
A rep for Woods did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The trip comes days after Woods announced to his followers that he planned to step away from golf to “seek treatment” following his appearance in court, where he pleaded not guilty in his latest DUI case.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he shared via X on Tuesday.
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health,” Woods continued.
“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
Woods added that he was “committed” to taking the necessary time he needs so he can “return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally.”
On Wednesday, it was reported that Woods filed a petition with the court, asking for the judge’s permission to leave Florida so he could enroll himself in a treatment facility out of the country.
His attorney Douglas Duncan cited “privacy” concerns as the main reason for his need to travel.
“Based upon the Defendant’s treating physician, the out of country treatment facility recommendation is based upon the Defendant’s complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States, as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised,” the documents said.
Duncan argued that not being afforded the ability to get treatment out of the country could lead to “setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment.”
Woods found himself in legal trouble once again last Friday after he was involved in a rollover car crash in Jupiter, Florida, subsequently earning him charges of misdemeanor DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test when he denied a urinalysis test.
Police body camera footage showed the events leading up to Woods’ arrest. In one clip, the professional golfer was seen talking to police officers after he climbed out of his flipped over Land Rover.
A second video showed Woods failing the multiple sobriety tests he was given at the scene before they took him into custody.
According to a police report obtained by Page Six, authorities claimed that the golfer was holding “two white pills” inside his “left side pant pocket” that were later “revealed to be hydrocodone.”
The affidavit revealed that he confessed to taking “a few” prescription medications despite Woods’ original claims that he had not consumed any alcohol or illegal substances before the crash.
Most recently, he was also hit with a non-criminal traffic citation for careless driving resulting in a crash, which carries a fine of $163.
