Tiger Woods has reportedly checked himself into rehab for an addiction to painkillers as he attempts to keep custody of his two children.

The  41‑year‑old golf great was arrested in Florida last month after being found dozing behind the wheel of his Mercedes‑Benz, with the engine still running.

He later admitted to police that he had taken medications including anti‑anxiety drug.

Woods has been in rehab twice before.

The first time in 2009 when he was treated for sex addiction.
