NewzGolfer Tiger Woods entered a no contest plea to charges of reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test during a court appearance in Martin County, Florida, stemming from a single-vehicle rollover crash. As part of the resolution, his driver's license was suspended for five years.
The incident occurred when Woods' SUV clipped a truck and rolled onto its side on a beachside residential road near his home on Jupiter Island in March. According to a sheriff's report, deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and noted that he showed signs of impairment at the scene.
Woods reportedly told officers that the crash took place while he was distracted by looking at his phone and changing the radio. The legal proceedings concluded with the reduced charges of reckless driving rather than the initial driving under the influence allegations associated with his spring arrest.
