Tiger Woods' Change-of-Plea Hearing Set for Wednesday in Florida DUI Case
Woods faces two misdemeanor charges after deputies said he showed signs of impairment and refused a urine test, leaving investigators unable to determine the cause.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 2, Eldrick Tiger Woods is scheduled to appear at the Martin County Courthouse for a change-of-plea hearing before County Judge Darren Steele at 8:30 a.m.
- The charges stem from a March 27 rollover crash on South Beach Road on Jupiter Island, where Woods faces misdemeanor charges of DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
- Investigators reported Woods' "normal faculties were impaired" and found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket; a breath test measured 0.00 for alcohol, but he refused a urine test.
- Woods' attorney, Douglas Duncan, filed notice describing the hearing as a "plea conference," and Woods received court approval to leave the country for "comprehensive inpatient treatment" while his case remains pending.
- Nearly a decade after his 2017 DUI-related arrest in Palm Beach County where he pleaded guilty to reckless driving, Woods faces this new proceeding; representatives declined to comment when reached on Tuesday.
