Tiger Woods pleads no contest to reckless driving charge over Florida crash

Golf legend previously pleaded not guilty to driving under influence

Tiger Woods has pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in Florida.

The golf legend previously pleaded not guilty to a driving under the influence charge.

Woods was arrested after his SUV clipped a truck and rolled over on its side on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island. A sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment. He did a Breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but refused to take a urine test.

Woods, 50, appeared in a courtroom in Martin County, just north of Palm Beach County. He said little during the hearing, arriving at the courthouse with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, U.S. President Donald Trump's former daughter-in-law.

Neither Woods nor the person in the other vehicle were injured in the crash, according to officials. But his Land Rover caused $5,000 US in damage to the truck, according to a police report. Woods had told a deputy that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck.

Woods is among the most influential figures in golf, but his career has been derailed by multiple back and knee surgeries, car crashes and dependence on pain medication.

Woods has been involved in four crashes over the years. He took a leave from the golf tour after the 2009 crash and again after the latest crash and has yet to return to tournament play.
