Tiger Woods loses license for 5 years after copping DUI deal — as Vanessa Trump stands by him

· New York Post

FLORIDA — Tiger Woods was suspended from driving for five years and handed a small fine as he agreed to a plea deal Wednesday over his latest rollover crash.

The four-time PGA Championship winner pleaded guilty to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test in a deal that saw prosecutors agreeing to drop DUI charges from the crash in March.

Wearing a dark blue suit and patterned blue tie, Woods, 50, looked grim-faced but said nothing as he entered the court alongside his girlfriend Vanessa Trump amid a throng of reporters.

In court, he spoke only to confirm that he had read the deal.

Woods was fined $1,000 and suspended from driving for five years on each charge, to run concurrently — and was warned he could go to jail if he drove on his suspended license.

Woods previously pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence after his Land Rover clipped a truck and rolled onto its side while traveling at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island.

The troubled golfer told an arresting officer at the time that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck, after crawling out of his vehicle uninjured.

Woods’ breathalyzer test showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and showed signs of impairment.

Two pain pills were found in his pocket by deputies, a sheriff’s office report said.

In July, Judge Darren Steele approved an agreement allowing prosecutors to review medical records related to Woods’ crash and arrest.

A similar agreement signed off in May granted prosecutors access to all prescription records for Woods at a Palm Beach pharmacy from the start of the year through the end of March.

Woods was allowed to travel outside the US to seek treatment at an inpatient facility following his arrest, court records show.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he said in a March statement.

“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.

“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones, and myself at this time,” he added.

Woods made his first public appearance since returning from treatment in June when he helped introduce the PGA Tour’s plans to revamp its schedule for the 2028 season.
