Tiger Woods pleads to reckless driving in Florida DUI case

Tiger Woods will have his license suspended for five years after reaching a plea deal on Wednesday related to his impaired-driving case. The 15-times major champion, who initially pleaded not guilty, was present for the change-of-plea hearing when Judge Darren Steele said two five-year driver's license suspensions will run at the same time, one on a reckless driving charge and one on a careless driving citation. Woods, dressed in a dark suit and tie, arrived at the Martin County Courthouse seated in the front passenger seat of a black SUV and did not answer questions from the gathered reporters as he and girlfriend Vanessa Trump walked in and out of the building for the 8:30 a.m. ET (1230 GMT) change of plea hearing. Woods initially pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence charges stemming from his rollover crash in March. At the time, Woods told authorities he was looking down at his phone and did not realize the truck in front of him had slowed down before his crash. No one was injured in the crash. According to a probable cause affidavit, Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and officers observed him to be lethargic, slow, "sweating profusely" with eyes that were bloodshot, glassy and pupils that were "extremely dilated". State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl was comfortable with the outcome but cautioned Woods about driving due to his public profile.
