New Florida Enhanced DUI Law Covers Woods' Refusal to Take Urine Test
Under Florida's Trenton's Law, refusing a urine test triggers a one-year license suspension and criminal charges, with Woods found to have five drugs in his system after the crash.
- On Friday, Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence after his Land Rover crashed on Jupiter Island, Florida, and now faces an automatic one-year license suspension for refusing a mandatory urine test.
- Florida's "Trenton's Law," enacted in October, classifies DUI test refusals as independent criminal offenses to address repeat violations following the 2023 death of 18-year-old Stetson University football player Trenton Stewart.
- Breathalyzer results showed "triple zeroes" for Woods on Friday; defense attorney David Haenel argued roadside sobriety tests are unreliable for individuals with significant back injuries, citing Woods' multiple surgeries.
- Conviction could carry fines of up to $2,000 and nine months in jail; the PGA Tour faces decisions regarding potential disciplinary action or committee removal for Woods following this second DUI arrest.
- Woods has 10 days to request a formal review hearing to contest the administrative license suspension, while legal experts anticipate the case will take six to nine months to resolve.
