Tiger Woods says he's getting "professional help" for his issues with prescription medication in the wake of his DUI arrest -- but he didn't describe the situation as a rehab.
"I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour."...
"I'm currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder," Woods said in a statement.
Woods was arrested on May 31 in Jupiter, FL -- and was extremely out of it. He could barely stand upright and couldn't even tie his shoes.
Woods blamed his state on a bad mixture of prescription medication.
Woods going public about the professional help could well be a strategy in his pending DUI case. It's often used to show the judge that he's taking his problem seriously, which could affect sentencing.
Below is a photo of he with his family in Florida over the weekend -- so it doesn't seem to be he's in a live-in facility for his treatment.
