Tiger Woods’ jet lands in Zurich as court approves inpatient treatment abroad after Florida DUI arrest

A private jet owned by Tiger Woods landed in Zurich, Switzerland, in the early hours of Friday, April 3, a possible sign of where the PGA Tour star may seek treatment following his recent DUI arrest in Florida, according to multiple news reports. It has not been reported whether Woods was on the aircraft.

The flight comes as a Martin County judge on April 1 approved a request from Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, for the golfer to begin “comprehensive inpatient treatment” outside the United States, according to court records.

The documents say Woods will travel outside the country but do not specify where, describing the facility as one that would “provide continuous monitoring and the ability to rapidly adjust treatment intervention in a highly controlled environment.” In the motion, Duncan wrote that Woods needs an urgent level of medical care and that receiving it abroad would allow him to complete it in privacy, adding that “ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment.” Woods was arrested March 27 by Martin County Sheriff’s deputies on a DUI charge after he crawled out of his rolled-over vehicle following a two-vehicle crash on Jupiter Island, where he owns a home.

He was released from jail eight hours later on $1,150 bail. According to the arrest affidavit, deputies said Woods was not under the influence of alcohol but determined he was impaired. They described him as “sweating profusely” and “lethargic and slow” while speaking, with “bloodshot and glassy” eyes and “extremely dilated” pupils, and said he needed repeated reminders to follow directions during impairment exercises.

A search of his pants pockets revealed two pills determined to be hydrocodone, a strong opioid painkiller used to treat severe pain. Woods refused to submit to a urine test following the wreck, records show. On Tuesday, March 31, an attorney entered a not-guilty plea on Woods’ behalf.

Duncan also represented the 15-time major champion in a 2017 DUI arrest case in Palm Beach County. Zurich is home to multiple drug and alcohol rehabilitation and mental‑health treatment centers, ranging from hospital-based programs to private clinics. While the landing of Woods’ jet has intensified speculation, court records do not identify a facility, and it remains unclear where and when he will begin treatment.
