Tiger Woods Faces 8:30 a.m. Plea Hearing in Florida DUI Case After March 27 Rollover

Summary
Wednesday’s 8:30 a.m. hearing in Martin County was moved up from Sept. 8 and could bring a plea change in Tiger Woods’ misdemeanor DUI case.
March 27 arrest records say Woods failed a field sobriety test after a rollover crash on Jupiter Island and had prescription painkillers in his pocket, while he also refused to submit to testing.
Bodycam video from the scene shows Woods appearing dazed and disoriented, but the lack of a positive alcohol test could complicate prosecutors’ effort to prove impairment.
Woods had previously pleaded not guilty to DUI and test-refusal charges, and it remains unclear whether his lawyers have reached a deal with prosecutors.
The crash added to another setback in Woods’ injury-hit comeback, and he has stayed away from competition while pursuing recovery treatment options.
