Rehabilitation, Treatment, and Damage Control

In order to come back, however, Tiger had a lot of image cleaning to do. He spent the first month of 2010 inside an addiction rehab facility that suited his needs. While staying there, even more women came clean about having had relations with Tiger in the past.

On his apology statement later that year, he claimed that he had undergone a 45-day-long treatment. He was clearly committed to turn over a new leaf and be more responsible. With all fairness, he couldn’t have ever returned to golf had he not tried to fix his image issue.
