Tiger Woods strikes plea deal in Florida rollover crash case

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (NBC, KYMA) - Tiger Woods entered a plea agreement Wednesday morning to a reckless driving charge following a rollover crash in March near his home in Florida.

Woods appeared in a courtroom in Martin County where he agreed to a reduced charge after he was initially charged with DUI.

A judge ordered that his driver's license be suspended for five years.

Woods said little during the hearing and beforehand sat at the defense table, looking back at the courtroom gallery.

The golf legend previously pleaded not guilty to a driving under the influence charge.

Woods was arrested after his SUV clipped a truck and rolled over on its side on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island.

A sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment.

He did a breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but refused to take a urine test.

Neither Woods nor the person in the other vehicle were injured in the crash, according to officials.

However, his Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage to the truck, according to a police report.

Woods had told a deputy that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck.

The 50-year-old is among the most influential figures in golf, but his career has been derailed by multiple back and knee surgeries, car crashes and dependence on pain medication.
