Is Tiger Woods' sex addiction real?

Is the disgraced golfer really seeking therapy—or just trying to repair his scandal-tainted image?

Tiger Woods has checked into a sex-addiction treatment program in Hattiesburg, Miss., according to Radar Online. The superstar golfer has not been seen in public since his post-Thanksgiving car crash sparked a string of revelations about sexual affairs. Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, has since left him, and Woods has lost several big-money endorsement contracts. Is Woods really seeking help, or is this a stunt to repair his tattered image?

Why would we doubt his sincerity? "With a list of affairs that reads more like a long grocery list," says Olivia Anderson in ChattahBox, Tiger Woods is clearly in need of help. "The affairs have ruined his marriage, and had a horrible effect on his career"—it's hardly surprising that Tiger would see counseling as the logical first step to getting his life back on track. "Good luck, Tiger!"
