Pro golfer Tiger Woods, 41, has been sentenced to 12 months probation and mandatory drug treatment after pleading guilty to reckless driving.
He was arrested on May 29, 2017 in Jupiter, Florida when he was found behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz unconscious. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released a toxicology report that showed he had several pain killers, anxiety calmer Xanax, a sleeping pill, and the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, in his system at the time of his arrest.
Woods is required to take a diversion program, pay a $250 fine and court costs, perform 20 hours of community service, attend DUI school, and attend a workshop where victims of impaired drivers discuss how their lives were damaged by their behavior.
Despite all the negative press, Forbes Magazine lists Woods as the 17th best-paid athlete in the world in 2017, making $37 million, mainly from endorsements.
