Tiger Woods Reaches Plea Deal in DUI Case, Will Have License Suspended for 5 Years

Tiger Woods struck a plea deal in his Florida DUI rollover crash on Wednesday, September 2.

The professional golfer attended a court hearing at the Martin County courthouse in Stuart, Florida, with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, by his side, per photos published by Page Six.

Woods’ DUI charge was reduced to a charge of reckless driving, second offense, which carries a $1,000 fine. The second charge, stemming from his refusal to submit to a urinalysis test, was also reduced to a careless driving citation, according to documents obtained by Globe.

Each reduced charge carries a five-year suspension of his driver’s license. The suspensions will be served concurrently.

Woods was originally scheduled to appear in court on September 8, but his change of plea hearing was moved up to Wednesday.

On March 27, Woods, 50, had been driving on Jupiter Island, Florida, when his Land Rover rolled over. The four-time PGA Championship winner initially pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge following his arrest.

At the time of his arrest, Woods also refused to submit to a lawful urine test.

According to a probable cause affidavit previously reported by People, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office claimed they found two hydrocone pills in a pocket of Woods’ pants at the scene.

Officers said they “observed several signs of impairment,” including “bloodshot and glassy” eyes and his pupils were “extremely dilated,” per the outlet.

Woods ultimately entered a rehab facility in Zurich, Switzerland, the following month.

Then, he made his first public appearance in June at a PGA Tour press conference where new CEO Brian Rolapp was introduced.
