Tiger Woods resolves legal case following plea in Florida court
Summary

Tiger Woods entered a no-contest plea to charges of reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test on Wednesday, Sept. 2, in a Martin County, Florida courthouse. The resolution of the case, which stemmed from a single-vehicle rollover accident on March 27, concludes the golfer's recent legal proceedings. Under the agreement, Woods received a $1,000 fine and a five-year suspension of his driver's license. The 15-time major winner has not competed in a professional golf tournament since The Open Championship in July 2024, having dealt with multiple surgeries, including a disc replacement in October 2025. Following the March accident, Woods stepped away from professional golf to focus on his health and has not provided a specific timeline for a potential return to the PGA Tour.
