The golf star has agreed to plead to a reckless driving charge stemming from a March crash near his Florida home. Woods was involved in a single-vehicle rollover, according to authorities. The agreement resolves the criminal charge without a trial. Court records indicate the case will proceed under the terms of the plea agreement, though specific penalties may depend on the judge’s final ruling. Woods, 49, has faced several driving-related incidents over the years, including a 2017 arrest for driving under the influence in Florida. The March crash drew renewed attention because of his public profile and history of serious injuries. Authorities have not indicated that anyone else was injured in the rollover. The plea marks the latest legal development involving the 15-time major champion, who has continued to manage recurring physical problems while taking a limited role in professional golf. Further court proceedings are expected to determine the final sentence and any conditions attached to the agreement.
