Tiger Woods Faces New Twist in Florida DUI Case

MIAMI — Tiger Woods is set to appear in court Wednesday for a change of plea hearing in his DUI case, court records show.

Woods, 50, was charged with driving under the influence after a rollover crash near his Jupiter Island home in Florida in March this year and had pleaded not guilty.

According to cops, the crash-prone 50-year-old had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and failed the field sobriety test.

The 15-time major champ is expected to attend Martin County Courthouse in Stuart, Florida, at 8:30 a.m.

Woods — who is worth $1.5 billion, according to Forbes — allegedly seemed “lethargic” after the crash, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told a press conference at the time.

Budensiek said a pressure cleaner truck pulling a small trailer had spotted Woods’ Land Rover approaching from behind at speed, ready to overtake on the narrow two-lane road on March 27.

As the truck driver tried to pull over, Woods attempted to pass around and clipped the back of the trailer, causing it to crash, the sheriff said.

The wreck caused $5,000 worth of damage to the truck, according to an incident report.

 Woods –– who was not injured –– was forced to crawl out from under his overturned SUV’s passenger door and was later charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a test, both misdemeanors.

He passed a Breathalyzer test — which tested negative for alcohol — but admitted he took “a few pills” and refused to undergo a urine test.

“He was cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself, so he was careful in what he said and didn’t say,” the sheriff said.

Woods claimed he was distracted at the time of the crash because he was “looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station,” according to an affidavit.

In May, the judge in Woods’ case reportedly granted prosecutors permission to get his prescription records.

Judge Darren Steele is allowing prosecutors to issue a subpoena to the pharmacy where the golf champ got his meds but the records will not be made public, according to TC Palm.

Prosecutors said in April that they were looking for sweeping information from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, including any driving warnings that may have been on any of Woods’ pill bottles.

The arrest in March was the fourth time Woods had been involved in a car wreck.

It includes the infamous 2017 DUI bust where he was discovered asleep behind the wheel, with the engine running, right blinker on, two flat tires and damage to the driver’s side.

In February 2021, he ran his vehicle off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed and suffered multiple leg and ankle injuries.
