Tiger Woods is receiving treatment at a sex rehabilitation clinic in Mississippi, according to Benoit Denizet-Lewis, the author of a book titled "America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life." He's also a recovering sex addict and wrote in his blog Monday that Woods was in a Hattiesburg clinic, citing an unnamed source.
Officials at the clinic have not confirmed that Woods is there.
Denizet-Lewis has written for the New York Times Magazine, and spent some time at the same clinic, Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services, a few years ago. He wrote that the programs at the clinic include group therapy sessions and family and couple's therapy.
* Sergio Garcia said he believes it won't be long before Woods returns to tournament play. "Only he knows when he is going to come back," Garcia said. "I have got the feeling that it's going to be earlier that what everybody thinks. We hope he gets back as soon as possible."
The Spaniard is returning to action after a seven-week layoff for a wrist injury at this weekend's Abu Dhabi Championship.
* Bart Bryant, 47, will have wrist surgery and likely will be out the entire year. He has three
PGA Tour titles, including a six-shot win over Woods at the 2005 Tour Championship.
