“Martin County Court Judge Darren Steele granted the motion to travel submitted by Woods’s lawyer, Douglas Duncan, who cited the 50-year-old golf superstar’s need for an 'intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program' away from media and public scrutiny.”

“The motion by Duncan stated, according to ESPN, that the out-of-country treatment facility recommendation was based upon the Defendant’s complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States.”

“The motion comes a day after Woods released a public statement and entered a plea of not guilty in a Florida court to charges of misdemeanor driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a urinalysis.”

“Woods told police he was looking at his mobile phone and changing the radio station before his Land Rover clipped a truck in front of him that he had not seen slow down.”

“A breathalyser test showed no signs of alcohol, but that Woods refused a urinalysis test for other drugs.”

“The affidavit stated that Woods was 'sweating profusely', his movements were 'lethargic and slow', his eyes were 'bloodshot and glassy', his pupils were 'extremely dilated', and that, during the field sobriety exercises, Woods was 'limping and stumbling to the right'.”

“Woods denied consuming any alcohol but said he had taken 'a few' prescription pills that morning.”
