The golfer will be in court on Wednesday for a hearing to change his plea after being charged with driving under the influence.

Tiger Woods is preparing to change his plea after his arrest following a traffic crash, according to law‑enforcement sources. No one was injured in the collision, although Woods had to crawl out of the passenger doorway to free himself. Police released dashboard‑camera footage in April that showed the aftermath, capturing the moment his vehicle struck a truck and rolled over. In the recording, Woods appears calm, kneeling on one knee as he tells officers: "I looked down astatine my phone, and each of a sudden, boom". He passed a breath‑alcohol test but refused to provide a urine sample for drug screening, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at the time. Woods told investigators he had not consumed alcohol that day. When asked about any medication, he replied: "I instrumentality a few". He then proceeded to name the medication, although that segment of the video was later redacted. Officers informed Woods that they believed his "normal faculties" were impaired by an "unknown substance". Authorities subsequently reported discovering 2 achromatic pills in his pocket, which were identified as hydrocodone
