Court documents indicate that Tiger Woods intends to alter his not guilty plea in a DUI case related to a rollover accident in Florida. Woods was arrested in March on suspicion of driving under the influence after his Land Rover collided with a truck and overturned. He had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Deputies at the scene reported signs of impairment, and two pain pills were found in his pocket. Woods refused a urine test, leading investigators to suspect impairment by medication rather than alcohol. He was booked and later released on $1,150 bail. A change-of-plea hearing is scheduled for Wednesday morning before Judge Darren Steele. This legal proceeding follows a 2017 DUI-related arrest for which Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
