Tiger Woods
Cited for Careless Driving
… On Top Of DUI Charge
Published
Tiger Woods isn’t only dealing with a DUI charge after his rollover accident and arrest on Friday … TMZ Sports has learned the golf legend has also been hit with a citation for careless driving.
The ticket was filed in Martin County on Thursday — a non-criminal traffic violation — and carries a fine of $163.
The citation was filed the same day authorities released body camera footage from the rollover accident scene, where the golf legend was seen kneeling just feet from his Range Rover, telling law enforcement that he “looked down” at his phone, and “all of a sudden — boom.”
Woods was put through multiple field sobriety tests, which cops say he failed … before he was put in handcuffs.
At another point in the interaction, Woods told officers he took prescription medication earlier in the day.
An officer was later seen searching his pockets, finding two hydrocodone pills.
Law enforcement also released footage of Tiger sitting in the back of a police cruiser, where the 15-time major champion was seen sweating and hiccuping.
Woods is facing two misdemeanor charges … DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a urine test.
Tiger pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to be in court next on May 5.
