Tiger Woods Accepts DUI Plea Deal, Faces 5-Year Driving Ban.

Tiger Woods changed his plea to no contest in a DUI case, resulting in a reduced charge of reckless driving and a five-year license suspension. He faced fines of approximately $1,500, but received no jail time during the court hearing attended by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump. Judge Darren Steele emphasized the importance of the driving suspension for public safety, stating there would be no exceptions. First responders found hydrocodone pills in Woods' pocket after an incident where his SUV struck a trailer, although a breath test showed no alcohol. Woods has a history of crashes and took a break from competitive golf for treatment but remains active in golf administration.
