Tiger Woods facing change of plea hearing in DUI car crash case

Tiger Woods will appear in court on Wednesday morning for a change-of-plea hearing tied to a DUI-related car crash in Florida in March. The 15-time major champion was arrested and spent eight hours in jail before posting bail after the Land Rover he was driving rolled over following a collision with a pickup truck towing a trailer. Woods previously entered a written not-guilty plea through his lawyers to charges including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to submit to testing. A court notice lists the hearing at Martin County Courthouse at 8:30 a.m. (1230 GMT), but it’s unclear what plea change, if any, he will make and whether a plea deal exists. Authorities said he passed a breath test but refused a urine test; an affidavit described him as “lethargic and slow” with bloodshot eyes and noted he had been looking at his cellphone while changing the radio before the crash.
