What every side reports
Tiger Woods changed his plea in a DUI case related to a crash earlier in the year in Florida. As part of the agreement, he will pay a $1,000 fine and receive a five-year driving license suspension.

Center outlets describe the plea change as being to 'no contest' on charges of reckless driving and failure to submit to a sobriety test, framing it as a strategic move to avoid harsher punishment. The right-leaning outlet characterizes the plea change as switching from 'not guilty' to 'guilty,' and includes a detail that the judge stressed the significance of the suspension, framing the outcome as Woods 'accepting punishment.' No left-leaning coverage was provided for comparison.
