Tiger Woods driver’s license suspended for five years after crash

Tiger Woods' license was suspended for five years following a plea agreement in a Florida car crash case from March. The 15-time major champion initially faced DUI charges but agreed to plead no contest to careless and reckless driving. Woods, who had two opioid pills in his possession, was not found to be under the influence of alcohol but appeared impaired.

He was involved in a rollover accident near his Jupiter Island home, where his SUV hit a truck and flipped on its side. Despite his back surgeries and leg injuries from a 2021 California crash, Woods actively sought treatment abroad. His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, accompanied him to the court hearing where Judge Darren Steele imposed the suspension.

The Republican president, Donald Trump, described Woods as a "great guy" and believed the resolution was "very fair." Woods has since made public appearances, focusing on his health and his role in shaping the future of golf tournaments.
