Tiger Woods has stepped back onto American soil after spending almost three months in a rehab facility in Switzerland.
His plane landed on Friday, per Page Six. He was pictured leaving customs and heading for home. Woods looked much healthier this time than when he previously landed in Florida in May.
He was spotted without compression socks and his legs and overall demeanour looked much sturdier.
The 15-time major champion was expected to complete rehab by the end of June, per a report from People. But, he is back much before the anticipated timeline.
He went for rehabilitation after he got arrested for a DUI crash to focus on managing pain without opioids. He underwent intensive psychological treatment in Zurich.

Woods recently replaced his lumbar disc on his L4-L5 vertebrae in Oct. 2025, the most recent of his seven total back surgeries.
He means to return to competitive golf now after being away from the scene for several years.
“I don’t know when it will be or how he will do it, but Tiger is determined to return [to golf],” a source revealed to People. “He has to get his pain management going in the right direction and also be able to continue a fitness routine.”
