Tiger Woods has entered a not guilty plea regarding his recent DUI arrest near his South Florida residence.
On Tuesday, Woods waived his arraignment, opting instead for a jury trial. His legal defense is led by Douglas Duncan, a criminal defense attorney who previously represented Woods in 2017 following another DUI incident. At that time, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office released a probable cause affidavit detailing the circumstances of his arrest. Woods reportedly admitted to focusing on his phone and changing the radio, leading to his collision on Jupiter Island.
The deputy’s report noted Woods appeared "lethargic," "slow," and was "sweating profusely" during the interview. He had previously ingested prescription medication, and two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket.
Woods faces charges of misdemeanor DUI, property damage, and test refusal. He and the PGA Tour have not commented publicly. His arraignment is set for April 23.
