Woods to change not guilty plea in DUI case, court documents show

Tiger Woods is set to appear in a Florida court to change his not guilty plea in an ongoing impaired-driving case, according to court documents. His attorney, Douglas Duncan, filed a request for a plea change hearing scheduled for September 3 before Judge Darren Steele. The specific new plea has not been disclosed. Woods initially pleaded not guilty to DUI charges related to a March rollover crash, during which he claimed he was distracted by his phone and failed to notice a slowing vehicle ahead. No injuries were reported in the incident. According to a probable cause affidavit, Woods was found with two hydrocodone pills and exhibited signs of impairment, including lethargy, excessive sweating, and bloodshot eyes. Earlier, Judge Steele allowed Woods to travel abroad for treatment in a controlled environment, as Woods stated he needed to focus on his health. Woods remains one of golf’s most accomplished players, with 15 major championships and numerous records.
