Tiger Woods, the professional golfer, has reportedly checked into Pine Grove, a Mississippi clinic for the treatment of sex addiction.

Pine Grove offers a six-week program for those who suffer from sexual addiction.

Although a spokeswoman for Pine Grove did not confirm Woods’s presence at the clinic, staff and visitors at the center have confirmed that he is indeed there.

Hattiesburg police, however, have refused to comment on the reports and will neither confirm nor deny that they have increased security measures at the clinic.

Reports indicate that Woods arrived at the Hattiesburg-Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport last Monday night.

An eyewitness named Adrian Smith saw him arrive and noted that he “didn’t look happy or sad, just straight.”

Smith reported that Woods “looked around and got in the driver’s seat…He didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He just walked around the car and got in. He sat there for a few seconds, then just drove off. His luggage was already in the car.”

This is the second treatment facility that Woods has been rumored to have visited.

Last week, websites People.com and radaronline.com reported that he had checked into The Meadows, a clinic in Wickenburg, Arizona.

However, neither the clinic nor Woods himself has confirmed this report.

The scandal that has led to Woods’s treatment for sex addiction began with a car crash outside his home on November 27.

Following the accident, many women came forward and claimed that they had affairs or liaisons with Woods.

Last month, Woods issued a public apology for his actions, stating that he was “sorry for the hurt and disappointment” he had caused his family and fans.

He also announced that he was taking an “indefinite break” from professional golf in order to “focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.”

Although Woods’s wife, Elin Nordegren, has not made any public statements regarding the scandal, she has been photographed in public several times since the news broke.

According to reports, Nordegren has hired Nicole Kidman’s divorce lawyer to represent her in her divorce from Woods.

Sex addiction, also known as hypersexuality, is a condition in which a person feels compelled to engage in sexual behaviors to an excessive degree.

It is not recognized as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) but is a topic of ongoing debate in the mental health community.

Pine Grove, the clinic where Woods is reportedly being treated, is a well-known center for the treatment of addiction and mental health disorders.

It is located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and offers a variety of treatment programs, including one for sexual addiction called Gentle Path.

The Meadows, the clinic in Wickenburg, Arizona where Woods was previously rumored to have checked in, is also a well-known center for the treatment of addiction and mental health disorders.

It was founded in 1976.
