Author and former sex addict Benoit Denizet-Lewis wrote on his blog that Woods is receiving treatment at the the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services Center in Hattiesburg.
The treatment facility has not confirmed or denied the Woods speculation.
Woods has taken a sabbatical from competitive golf as he seeks to put his family together after he admitted to having several extramarital affairs.
Way to kick a man when he’s down. Someone has placed “fake” Gatorade bottles with golf star Tiger Woods, his wife Elin and the word “Unfaithful” in several Denver area grocery stores.
No one seems to know where the bottles came from or the person(s) responsible for the gag. Gatorade said they did not print the labels as they severed business ties with golfer.
Woods has confessed to cheating on his wife with at least a dozen women and has taken a break from professional golf.
As Tiger Woods pays the price with his wife, family and career for his infidelity, stockholders in Woods’ sponsored companies such as AT&T and Gillette have at least 12 billion.
A study by Victor Stango and Christopher Knittel, two economy and professors at the University of California, suggests that companies who have a business relationship with Woods have seen their stock shares plummet since the Woods scandal broke out in November.
“In their study, the two professors said they looked at stock market returns for the 13 trading days after November 27, the date of the car incident that ignited the Woods scandal.
They compared returns for Woods’ sponsors during this period to those of both the total stock market and of each sponsor’s closest competitor. They also reviewed returns for four years before the car accident to build up a comparative picture of the sponsors’ market performance.
The study looked at sponsors of Tiger Woods for which stock prices were available, in several cases through quoted prices for the parent companies. Sponsors included: Accenture; AT&T; Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf (Electronic Arts); Gillette (Proctor and Gamble); Nike; Gatorade (PepsiCo); TLC Laser Eye Centers.”

When a reporter asked Knight if NIKE will suspend their endorsement contracts with Woods, he gave the following response.
“I think he’s been really great…When his career is over, you’ll look back on these indiscretions as a minor blip, but the media is making a big deal out of it right now.”
Is Knight right? Will his accomplishments as a golfer overshadow his marital issues? What do you think?
The first dent in Tiger Woods’ gold-plated endorsement portfolio appeared Tuesday as Gatorade said it was dropping its Woods-themed line of sports drinks. It remains to be seen if the world’s richest, most famous athlete permanently damaged his brand image, as well as his SUV, when he crashed into a tree outside a neighbor’s home on Nov. 27.
The current endorsement king of Madison Avenue makes most of his estimated $100 million a year off the course. Among his blue-chip sponsors: Gatorade, AT&T, Nike, Gillette, Accenture, EA Sports, Upper Deck and Tag Heuer.
Gatorade said the decision to drop Woods has nothing to do with recent events.
