Tiger Woods learns his fate in DUI case after plea deal

  • Tiger Woods entered a no-contest plea to a reduced reckless driving charge in a Martin County, Florida courtroom following a March rollover crash, resulting in a five-year suspension of his driver's license.
  • The crash occurred on Jupiter Island when Woods' SUV struck a truck while he was distracted by his phone and radio; deputies found pain pills in his pocket and noted signs of impairment, though no injuries were reported.
  • Woods arrived at the courtroom accompanied by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, who is the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump.
  • Following the incident—the fourth car crash of his career—Woods took a leave from tournament play to seek treatment at an inpatient facility outside the United States.
  • Woods made his first post-treatment public appearance in June to outline PGA Tour schedule revisions for 2028, maintaining his position as chairman of the tour's Future Competition Committee.
