Tiger Woods plans to change not guilty plea in DUI case
Tiger Woods plans to change his not guilty plea in a DUI case stemming from a rollover crash in Florida, court documents reveal.
In March, the golf icon's Land Rover clipped a truck, rolled onto its side and the golfer was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, officials said.
Woods had pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. A sheriff's office report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket, and he showed signs of impairment. The crash was his fourth since 2009.
Woods was travelling at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island with a 50km/h speed limit when his Land Rover caused $US5,000 ($A6985) in damage to the truck, according to an incident report.
Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but refused a urine test, authorities said.
Woods has travelled outside of the United States to seek treatment at an inpatient treatment facility, according to court records.
