Tiger Woods pleads no contest to reckless driving in Florida court

Tiger Woods appeared in a Martin County, Florida, court on Wednesday, Sept. 2, to resolve criminal charges stemming from a March 27 car crash. The professional golfer entered a no contest plea to reduced charges of reckless and careless driving. As part of the agreement, a judge ordered Woods to pay a $1,000 fine and suspended his driver's license for five years. President Donald Trump commented on the case, characterizing the court's decision as fair and noting his previous personal advice to the golfer regarding the use of a professional driver. Woods, who initially pleaded not guilty to DUI and related charges in March, has faced significant recovery challenges following multiple medical issues and a separate 2021 vehicle accident. The golfer maintains his focus on returning to competitive golf despite ongoing health limitations.
