Tiger Woods has agreed not to contest a reckless driving charge as part of a deal with prosecutors, reducing the original charge of driving under the influence from a rollover crash in Florida.
The golfer accepted a five-year suspension of his driving licence and a $1,000 (£742) fine, as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors in Martin County, Florida.
Woods was arrested after the March crash, and had passed a breathalyser test but declined further testing for other drugs.
He pleaded not guilty the same month to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing. Woods, 50, said he was seeking treatment after the incident.
“I’m completely confident and comfortable with the resolution of this case,” Florida State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl said at a press conference after the hearing.
