Tiger Woods has spoken publicly for the first time in months, posting a Memorial Day tribute on Monday from the United States that honoured his late father, Earl Woods, and all American service members, after a period in which the golfer had been in treatment in Switzerland and out of sight.
The news came after a turbulent spell for Woods, who has largely disappeared from public view in recent weeks. The 15‑time major champion had been undergoing treatment in Switzerland for about two months following a drink‑driving crash and subsequent arrest. His low profile coincided with renewed scrutiny of his private life and, more recently, a serious health revelation from his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
