Tiger Woods Heads to Court for DUI Case

Tiger Woods is slated to make his initial in-person court appearance on Tuesday, September 8, in Martin County, Florida. This appearance follows his March 27 car accident and subsequent postponements of his legal proceedings. He faces two misdemeanor charges related to the incident: driving under the influence with property damage and refusing a lawful test.

Woods has entered a plea of not guilty to these charges. Responding officers noted signs of impairment and found hydrocodone pills in his possession. While a breathalyzer indicated no alcohol, Woods refused a urine test. The prosecution has extended its investigation, obtaining hospital records from the day of the crash.

Woods' legal team is pursuing a jury trial. The court date has been deferred multiple times as the investigation unfolded and legal processes were carried out. His attorney is seeking a jury trial for the case.
