Tiger Woods Pleads Guilty to Reckless Driving, Faces Five-Year License SuspensionPreviousNext

Tiger Woods has changed his plea from not guilty to no contest or guilty on reduced reckless driving charges following a March rollover crash in Florida. The original DUI charges were dropped after prosecutors found insufficient evidence of impairment, despite Woods showing signs of impairment and possessing prescription painkillers. Woods' driver's license was suspended for five years, and he was fined. He has sought treatment for health issues and continues to focus on recovery. No injuries occurred in the crash, which caused property damage.
