Wacky times in Tigerland as the ailing star--looking quite muscle-inflated these days--dined with the PGA Champion and fellow Excel client Justin Thomas at what looks like Woods Jupiter.

Thomas Tweeted the photo first posted by Tiger: 

Great dinner! Glad to spend the night with TW. Learned a lot from him through the past few years https://t.co/gIQZiebyzE

While it was a nice visual, the news of Tiger's DUI toxicology tests came out and painted a bleak picture, especially when his official statement admitted to doing his own drug cocktails.

From an ESPN.com report:

"As I previously said, I received professional help to manage my medications," Woods said Monday in a statement released through a spokesman. "Recently, I had been trying on my own to treat my back pain and a sleep disorder, including insomnia, but I realize now it was a mistake to do this without medical assistance. I am continuing to work with my doctors, and they feel I've made significant progress. I remain grateful for the amazing support that I continue to receive and for the family and friends that are assisting me."

The PGA Tour, once famously unwilling to comment on such things, particularly when Mary Jane might be involved, issued this statement to Golf World's Brian Wacker.

”As he has stated previously, Tiger is remorseful about his actions and committed to correcting his mistakes going forward,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. ”And as I’ve said before, the tour is committed to helping him in any way we can, as he is a member of our family. We will have no further comment on this matter.”
