Tiger Woods Set To Change Not-Guilty Plea In Florida DUI Case After High-Speed March Rollover Crash

Legendary golfer Tiger Woods is set to change his not-guilty plea in a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) case following a high-speed March rollover crash in Florida, according to court documents, reported CBS News. Woods was involved in an accident on Jupiter Island, causing $5,000 worth of damage to a beachside residential road.

Police arrested him after he allegedly clipped into a truck and rolled onto its side. Despite registering a zero alcohol level on a Breathalyzer test, Woods refused a urine test and admitted to taking prescription medications, including hydrocodone, found in his pocket, according to the arrest report. He claimed he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station when the collision occurred.

Woods, 50, is a five-time Masters champion, four-time PGA Championship winner, three-time U.S. Open title holder, and three-time The Open winner, but has faced multiple back and knee injuries, surgeries, car accidents, and substance addiction issues throughout his career. He is expected to appear in court for a plea conference hearing on Wednesday morning for further details on the nature of his changed plea.
