Guilty! Golf legend accepts plea deal in Florida crash case

Five months after the rollover crash that rocked the golf world, Tiger Woods has admitted his guilt in a Florida courtroom.

Details: The 15-time major champion changed his plea to guilty on a reckless driving charge in Martin County Court on Wednesday, months after pleading not guilty to two misdemeanor counts. Under the plea agreement, Woods accepted a five-year suspension of his driver's license and a $1,000 fine.

The case stems from the March 27 crash on Jupiter Island, when Woods rolled his vehicle and was arrested on suspicion of DUI after refusing a lawful test. He had initially denied the charges, and the case forced him to step away from golf for treatment and miss the Masters for a second straight year. In court, the state amended the case to reckless driving as a second offense plus a careless driving citation, with the two five-year license suspensions running concurrently. Woods, who arrived with his girlfriend Vanessa Trump and walked past reporters in silence, now closes a painful legal chapter at 50, with his competitive future still uncertain after limited appearances in TGL and no major starts in 2026.

It's worth noting that Woods, whose estimated fortune is around $1.5 billion, had told deputies at the crash scene that he was hoping to play the Masters just weeks before his arrest.
