But according to People, he can't get golf off his mind despite "stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment." Apparently, that's a main driver of his recovery efforts.
"This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery," he said at the time.
But now he wants to focus on returning to the sport. But it's a struggle ahead of Woods to bounce back.
Tiger Woods Wants to Make Golf Return
"He knows he needs to beat his issues and also deal with the pain from not only playing golf but also from his regular fitness schedule," the source explains. "People around him are supporting him, both personally and professionally. All of this is helping him deal with it enough to get through it."
Despite the arrest and injuries, Woods "still has golf in him."
He's also focused on recovery efforts as well.
"He just wants to get better in all areas of his life," the source notes.
Last month, authorities arrested Woods after he crashed his Range Rover in Florida. They found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. They also found signs of impairment in the athlete.
He allegedly refused a urinalysis. Authorities believe he was "not impaired by alcohol but possibly by medication or another substance." After his arrest, Woods made a statement.
"I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today," he said.
"I'm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally," Woods added. "I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time."
We'll see when he returns to golfing.
