Tiger Woods needs help, and he knows it.

The golf legend was found asleep at the wheel on May 29 in Jupiter, Florida. Though he was not lucid, no alcohol was found in his system at the time.

In a statement issued via Twitter, the star revealed that he is getting professional help after his DUI arrest. He wrote:

“I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder. I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.”

Tiger has undergone four back surgeries since 2014. He told officers at the scene that he was having an adverse reaction to a mix of his prescription pain medications, which include Xanax and Vicodin.

The 41-year-old is scheduled to appear in court on August 9.
