Tiger Woods gets five-year driving ban in plea deal over Florida crash
–
Neutral summary
Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was handed a five-year driving ban, avoiding jail time. Judge Darren Steele warned that if Woods drives again, he will be sent back to prison immediately. The more serious charge of driving under the influence was dropped as part of the plea agreement, and a $1,000 fine was imposed. The case stemmed from a March rollover crash in Florida, after which Woods had initially pleaded not guilty.
