Tiger Woods Reaches Plea Deal Avoids Jail Time
Tiger Woods accepted a plea deal in court on September 2 2026. The deal resolved his Florida drunk driving case.
His DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving. This was his second such offense.
He also received a careless driving citation. Woods will lose his driver's license for five years.
He must pay a $1000 fine. He will avoid jail time.
The case followed a rollover crash in Florida in March 2026. The crash caused property damage. About $5000 damage was done to another vehicle.
Klear Note — A plea deal lets a defendant accept penalties without going to trial. Reckless driving means driving in a way that threatens people or property.
