Tiger Woods reports in sex rehab centre

New York:

Golf superstar Tiger Woods is reported to have checked into a sex rehabilitation centre at Arizona for treatment.

A magazine reported that Woods, 34, is believed to have joined The Meadows, a clinic which specialises in substance abuse and compulsive disorders such as gambling or sex addiction, around New Year for a period of five weeks.

"He should be out by Valentine's Day or thereabout," a source told the entertainment magazine.

Everyone at the clinic is asked to wear a coloured nametag that corresponds to their addiction, according to reports.

"He has been there for a few days since his handlers forced him to enter the programme. They feel that if he blames his cheating on addiction, the public will forgive him," sources said.

"Tiger wants to get back on top."
