Woods, who has not played in a professional event since February due to back trouble, and was arrested for a DUI in May, released a new statement Monday regarding his battle to manage his prescription drugs.

"I recently completed an out of state private intensive program," Woods said, via Twitter.

"I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family and friends. I am so very thankful for all the support I've received."

While it was good to hear Woods completed a program, his statement left a few questions unanswered.

For instance, there was no word regarding Woods' next step. He has undergone several back surgeries in the last two years, placing his golf career firmly on hold. It sounds as though his personal life his heading back on track, which for now, is all that matters.

Woods was unable to attend last week's Quicken Loans National, hosted by his foundation, but it may not be long before we see Woods involved with golf again at least in some capacity.
