Tiger Woods Out of Rehab, Back on Course Soon?

According to a celebrity gossip site and an Australian newspaper, Tiger Woods is due to leave rehab for sexual addition at the end of this week, and the Aussie paper throws in that Woods might return to the PGA Tour just two weeks after that.

Woods is believed (it has never been proved beyond doubt) to be at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, undergoing treatment for sexual addiction. It is believed that Woods checked in to the clinic shortly before Christmas, and the clinic's treatment is a 6-week program.

RadarOnline.com claims that "Tiger Woods is leaving sex addiction rehab by the end of this week ... His wife Elin has flown to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to bring Tiger home." Citing "sources close to the situation," the Web site claims Tiger and Elin plan to go away alone together for a few days after his release.

Meanwhile, the Australian newspaper Herald Sun claims that Woods will return to golf at the Accenture Match Play Championship in just two weeks. It cites no sources for this assertion, referring only to "strengthening whispers."

The Accenture Match Play is where Woods returned following knee surgery, but Accenture is also one of Tiger's ex-sponsors, a company that pulled away from him the fastest in the aftermath of the cheating allegations. A Tiger return at Accenture's tournament, in just two weeks, doesn't make much sense on any level. But then, how much of this sordid tale does?
