Tiger Woods Has Driver’s License Suspended For Five Years In DUI Case
The license suspension also comes with $1,500 in fines.
Tiger Woods' driver's license has been suspended for five years following his DUI arrest in March. Woods pleaded no contest to reduced charges of reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test, dropping his original DUI charge. The judge emphasized that Woods' five-year driving ban is for public safety, with no exceptions.
Woods' license suspension also includes $1,500 in fines and $18.44 in state attorney's fees and court costs. Accompanied by his attorney and girlfriend, Woods did not comment to reporters post-hearing. Woods was arrested on March 27 in South Florida after a rollover car crash, where he didn't pass a breathalyzer test but refused a urine test at the jail.
The accident occurred on Jupiter Island, where Woods was attempting to overtake a pressure cleaner truck on a two-lane road with a 30 mph speed limit. Woods announced his "time away" for treatment and health focus in March 31, playing in one TGL match before the arrest. He made a public appearance on June 23 and remains PGA Tour's Future Competition Committee chairman. Woods, 50, can compete in the PGA Tour Champions circuit for golfers age 50 and older.
