Tiger Woods has been banned from driving for five years.

Tiger Woods, the renowned American golfer, has agreed to a five-year driving ban as part of a plea deal following a traffic accident in March 2021 on Florida. The incident involved his car rolling over after colliding with a truck he attempted to overtake. Woods was arrested by Martin County police after failing a breathalyzer test and refusing to provide a urine sample, though he was released after eight hours of detention. Initially denying fault, Woods avoided more severe charges related to impaired driving by entering a guilty plea. He faces a $1,000 fine and a five-year suspension of his driver’s license. The court emphasized this decision was based on public safety concerns. Woods, who suffered injuries during the crash but not serious harm, has been taking strong painkillers due to back surgery. His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, attended the court proceedings. U.S. President Donald Trump praised the outcome as 'very just' and expressed sympathy for Woods’ struggles with chronic pain.
