Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving on Wednesday as part of an agreement with Florida prosecutors stemming from his rollover crash in March. The 50-year-old golfer was fined $1,000 and had his driver’s license suspended for five years after being adjudicated guilty of willful and wanton reckless driving, a second offense.
Prosecutors had initially charged Woods with driving under the influence with property damage. He also pleaded no contest to refusing to submit to a lawful test and was fined another $500.
Woods received a concurrent five-year license suspension for a careless-driving citation and agreed not to seek a hardship exemption during the suspension. Court records show he paid $2,131.44 in fines and costs following Wednesday’s hearing.
The plea agreement brings an end to the criminal case arising from the crash near Woods’ home on Jupiter Island. He had previously pleaded not guilty to both charges.
