Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of a DUI less than a month ago. He caused his fourth major car crash, and when cops arrived on the scene, Tiger was glassy-eyed, out of it and on the phone with Donald Trump. Seriously, he pulled the “I was just talking to the president” card to intimidate the cops. The cops remained unintimidated and they arrested him soon after. Oh, and he was carrying loose hydrocodone. Tiger has had well-documented issues with prescription pain pills for many years, and this arrest was hopefully his rock bottom. I don’t think it actually was his rock bottom, but hey, at least he checked into rehab again. According to People Magazine’s sources, Tiger is already thinking about getting back to golf as well. Girl, stop!!

Tiger Woods is hoping to make a return to golf after seeking treatment following his recent DUI arrest, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.

According to a golf insider, Woods, 50, “desperately” wants to return to the sport — and that is motivating him to stick with his treatment. Days after his March 27 arrest, the athlete announced in a statement posted on X that he was “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment” and focus on his health.

“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” he said at the time.

Now, the source says Woods is doing what is needed to feel good both physically and mentally.

“He knows he needs to beat his issues and also deal with the pain from not only playing golf but also from his regular fitness schedule,” the source explains. “People around him are supporting him, both personally and professionally. All of this is helping him deal with it enough to get through it.”

Another source tells PEOPLE that Woods “still has golf in him,” including potential Masters or other tournaments, but things have become “harder” due to injuries and his age.

“He just wants to get better in all areas of his life,” the source notes.

A representative for Woods did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The case I would make against “going back to golf” is not actually about the pills or the DUIs or the rehab – it’s about what golf has done to his body already. Just in the 2020s, Tiger has had major back surgeries, major ankle/tendon surgeries, major knee surgeries and at least one major foot surgery. These surgeries are largely why Tiger has battled an addiction to pills/opioids for years, not just “pain management,” but his attempt to facilitate his physical rehabilitation. It’s enough! Just retire and be with your Trumpy girlfriend, for the love of God. He’s 50! The golfers who are winning these days are guys in their 30s (Rory McIlroy) or 20s (Scottie Scheffler).
