A Florida judge granted golf superstar Tiger Woods's request to leave the United States to seek "comprehensive inpatient treatment" after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Woods's attorney, Douglas Duncan, submitted the motion to travel on Wednesday, citing the 50-year-old golfer's urgent need for an "intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program" as well as privacy from media and public scrutiny.
