Golfer Tiger Woods, who's spending six weeks at a Mississippi rehab clinic, is facing an 18-week sex ban as part of his treatment.

The sports ace, 34, is apparently being treated for sex addiction, reports The Sun.

A former patient said: "You can't have sex and can't get excited. That continues for 90 days after you are discharged."

Tiger will also have to sign a "celibacy contract" and write an "empathy letter" to wife Elin Nordegren, 30.

Ex-patient Benoit Denizet-Lewis said: "If they are serious about repairing the marriage, she will be spending some time in treatment with him."
