Tiger Woods has pleaded not guilty in his latest DUI case, Page Six can confirm.
The embattled golf legend entered his not guilty plea on Tuesday, four days after he was taken into custody in the wake of his shocking rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., last Friday.
Woods waived his arraignment and demanded a jury trial, per the court documents obtained by Page Six.
He also once again retained lawyer Douglas Duncan, who previously represented the five-time Masters champ during his last DUI charge in 2017.
Duncan was listed as the attorney of record for the 50-year-old golf star, and he filed a waiver of Woods’ presence at pretrial conferences in the Martin County court.
A rep for Woods did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
TMZ was the first to report the news of his not guilty plea.
Woods’ DUI arrest last week came moments after the golfer was involved in a rollover car crash just blocks from his Florida home.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed during a press conference that the PGA champion “showed signs of impairment” and “refused a urinalysis test” following his scary crash.
Budensiek also clarified that officers “weren’t suspicious of alcohol in this case” because the embattled golfer “blew triple zeros” in his Breathalyzer test.
A police report obtained by Page Six revealed that “two white pills” later “revealed to be hydrocodone” were found inside Woods’ “left side pant pocket.”
Although Woods claimed he had not consumed any alcohol or illegal substances before the crash, the affidavit said that he admitted to taking “a few” prescription medications.
Still, the responding officers “observed several signs of impairment” while speaking with Woods, who was said to be “sweating profusely.”
Then, when Woods was asked to remove his sunglasses, the officers noticed that his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and that his pupils were “extremely dilated.”
Woods went on to tell deputies that he “was looking down at his cellphone and changing the radio station and did not notice the vehicle in front of him had slowed down,” per the police report.
Woods was ultimately handcuffed and taken into custody, at which point he was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
His next court hearing is scheduled for next month.
This marks Woods’ second DUI arrest in nearly 10 years. He was busted for a DUI in Jupiter, Fla., in May 2017 after officers found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz.
Although he was charged with DUI, reckless driving and improper stopping during that incident, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving in a plea deal to avoid a DUI conviction.
He agreed to enter a DUI diversion program, was placed on a 12-month probation and was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service.
