Tiger Woods is scheduled to change his plea in court five months after being arrested for driving under the influence following a rollover crash in Florida. He initially pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of DUI and refusal to submit to testing. The crash resulted in no injuries, though Woods had to exit his vehicle through the passenger door. Authorities later found two white pills, identified as hydrocodone, in his pocket, despite his initial statements to police. Woods has stated he is seeking treatment following the incident.
