Tiger Woods pleads no contest to reckless driving charges in Florida
Summary

Tiger Woods reached a plea agreement in a Martin County, Florida, courthouse on September 2, 2026, regarding a DUI charge stemming from a rollover vehicle accident on March 27. The 50-year-old golfer pleaded no contest to charges of willful wanton reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test. As part of the resolution, Woods received a five-year suspension of his driver's license and a $1,000 fine.
