Tiger Woods pleads guilty to reckless driving at Florida court hearing

Tiger Woods appeared in a Stuart, Florida, court on September 2, 2026, to address charges stemming from a vehicle accident in March. Accompanied by Vanessa Trump, Woods entered a plea of guilty to reckless driving. As part of a plea deal accepted by the court, the original DUI charges were dropped. The presiding judge sentenced Woods to a five-year ban on his driver's license and a $1,000 fine. The court noted that any violation of the driving ban could result in jail time for the golfer. Following the incident in March, where his vehicle clipped a truck and overturned, Woods previously stepped away from professional golf to seek treatment and prioritize his recovery. Both Woods and Vanessa Trump have managed their respective health and personal matters privately over the past year.
