Tiger Woods has reportedly checked into rehab in Arizona - this time to address an addiction to painkillers and sleeping pills.

According to a story run in the New York Post, Woods, who has already undergone therapy for sex addiction, has checked himself in to The Meadows treatment centre in Arizona.

Some of Tiger's mistresses have already said that he took drugs during sex with them.

"In [sex] therapy, Tiger blamed a lot of his cheating behaviour on his drug addiction, saying that the drugs were responsible for impairing his judgement," an anonymous source told The National Enquirer.

Woods is allegedly addicted to sleep medication Ambien as well as powerful painkiller Vicodin.

In last week's televised apology Tiger said that he never took drugs that helped his golfing performance.

"They said I used performance-enhancing drugs," he said.

"This is completely and utterly false."

The night of his infamous car crash, wife Elin Nordegren told police her husband had active prescriptions for Ambien and Vicodin.
