Tiger Woods is rumoured to be seeking treatment for a sex addiction at an elite facility in Cape Town.

Woods has been keeping a low profile since he crashed his car outside his home in November after an alleged argument with his wife over his infidelity. Since the incident, 18 different women have claimed to have had sexual relations with Woods.

A number of international sources have suggested that the golf star is staying in South Africa until the media storm passes, and several people claim to have spotted him around Cape Town.

Woods is rumoured to be undergoing treatment for his sex addiction at the Montrose Place facility in the upmarket suburb of Bishopscourt while his wife makes a decision on the future of their marriage.

According to heat magazine, staff at Montrose Place "could not comment" on whether or not Woods was in the facility, and said that "Montrose Place is a reputable treatment facility and no matter what the circumstances, no patient names would ever be revealed."
