Tiger Woods appears in a Florida court to change his plea in a driving under the influence case connected to a March crash. Multiple outlets report he enters a plea to reckless or careless/reckless driving as part of a plea agreement and, as a result, loses his driver’s license for five years.
Reports describe the March 27 incident in Florida as a rollover crash in which Woods’ vehicle clips a truck pulling a trailer. Outlets also say the court sets the license suspension to run for five years and imposes fines and court fees. Some coverage notes Woods previously pleaded not guilty and that two five-year suspensions run at the same time, while others emphasize that the agreement reduces the original DUI-related charge to a lesser reckless-driving offense. Several outlets state Woods’ plea is “no contest,” while others describe it as a guilty plea to careless and reckless driving.
Across sources, the common points are the plea change in court, the reduction to a reckless-driving-related charge, and a five-year suspension of his driving privileges, along with penalties including fines and fees.
