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 refusing to submit to testing. The incident involved Woods, who passed a breathalyzer test but declined further drug testing, and police later found hydrocodone in his pocket. Woods stated he was seeking treatment after the crash, which was his second DUI-related arrest.
