Professional golfer Tiger Woods has returned to Switzerland aboard his $50 million private aircraft on Sunday, where he is expected to continue his recovery program.
According to Celebplanes.com, Woods’ Gulfstream V departed Saturday evening from Stuart, Florida, completing a nearly nine-hour flight to Zurich.
The New York Post captured images on May 14 showing Woods exiting a private aircraft at Palm Beach International Airport, located approximately 45 miles from his Jupiter Island, Florida residence. Woods had previously been receiving treatment in Switzerland, traveling there shortly after facing misdemeanor DUI charges stemming from a rollover accident near his home on March 27.
On April 1, Florida’s Martin County Court Judge Darren Steele approved a travel request filed by Woods’ legal representative, Douglas Duncan, who argued the 50-year-old golf champion required an “intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program” away from media and public scrutiny.
Woods, 50, had recently come back to the United States, apparently to support his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, 48, following her breast cancer diagnosis. Trump has described Woods as “her strength” while facing her medical challenge.
Trump, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., shared news of her diagnosis through social media on Thursday.
“Tiger has been very supportive of Vanessa through all of this and is really just focused on being there for her,” a source told the New York Post. “He’s proud of how positive she’s stayed and how she’s handling everything so far. She’s been so strong and he truly believes she’s going to be OK. He’s just trying to support her however he can right now.”
Regarding Woods’ situation, he is reportedly receiving “intense” psychological care at a Swiss rehabilitation facility to address what has been described as his painkiller dependency.
After the Florida incident, Woods — who has captured 15 major championships among his 82 professional wins — announced he would skip the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. He also withdrew his name from consideration for captain of the United States’ 2027 Ryder Cup team.
