Tiger Woods will not face a DUI conviction after accepting a plea deal Tuesday that reduced the charge against him to reckless driving.

Woods pleaded no contest to the lesser charge in Martin County. Under the agreement, the professional golfer will avoid jail but must pay a $1,500 fine and surrender his driver’s license for five years.

Deputies arrested Woods in March after his SUV rolled over on Jupiter Island. Investigators determined Woods caused the crash, and deputies arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Authorities later added a second charge after Woods refused to provide a urine sample that could have determined whether he had drugs in his system.

Former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said the lack of chemical test results created significant challenges for prosecutors and would have been difficult if this went to trial.

“This was not a slam-dunk case. What you have is video of him acting a little unsteady after a rollover accident. So, [Woods] could use that in his defense," explained

Aronberg said video showing Woods appearing unsteady after the crash was not necessarily enough to prove impairment. The defense could have argued Woods’ condition resulted from the rollover and his history of injuries.

Under the agreement, Woods may not operate a vehicle on public roads during the five-year suspension. That restriction includes driving a golf cart on a public road, although he may operate one on private property.

“It resolves a matter that would have taken up a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of bandwidth, and also was no guarantee,” Aronberg said.

Aronberg said he does not believe Woods received favorable or harsher treatment because of his fame. He said prosecutors had to weigh the available evidence and that the agreement represented a fair resolution for both sides.
