Tiger Woods avoids prison with no-contest plea in Florida DUI case

TL;DR Summary
Tiger Woods reached a plea deal in Martin County, Florida, pleading no contest to a reduced reckless-driving charge and to refusing to submit to testing after a March crash near his home. The deal avoids prison time but imposes a five-year license suspension and a $1,500 fine; a no-contest plea is treated as a conviction. Prosecutors noted he faced up to a year in jail if convicted on the original DUI charge, and Woods’ attorney declined to comment.
