Tiger Woods is to change his plea in court five months after he was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence in a rollover crash in Florida.
Court records show the change of plea hearing is set for Wednesday morning in Martin County, Florida. The golfer was arrested after the March crash, and had passed a breathalyser test but declined further testing for other drugs.
