Golfer Tiger Woods changed his plea to no contest in his driving under the influence case on Wednesday, agreeing to a five-year suspension of his driver's license.

The legendary golfer appeared in a Florida court to enter the plea, which stems from a rollover car crash in March. Initially, Woods had pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors amended the first charge to reckless driving, second offense, and the second charge to a citation for careless driving. The judge then imposed the five-year license suspension concurrently on both charges, emphasizing that any driving during this period would result in immediate jail time.

The license suspension was deemed necessary for public safety, the judge stated in the courtroom. Woods was accompanied by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, who is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

The March 27 accident occurred when Woods attempted to pass a truck on Jupiter Island, Florida. Authorities reported that Woods clipped the back of the truck's trailer, causing his SUV to overturn. No injuries were reported in the crash.

During the arrest, authorities found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pants pocket. A breathalyzer test indicated no alcohol in his system, but Woods declined a urine test, which is used to detect drugs or medication.

Woods' initial arrest in March led to significant media attention, with body camera footage of the incident later released. The case has been closely watched, given Woods' prominent public profile.

This plea resolves the immediate legal consequences for Woods in this DUI case, with the primary outcome being the extended suspension of his driving privileges.
