Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving on Wednesday in a Florida court, concluding a case that began with a rollover crash in March. The 50-year-old golfer accepted adjudication of guilt on the charge of willful and wanton reckless driving, a second offense, under an agreement with prosecutors in Martin County court.

Prosecutors had originally charged Woods with driving under the influence with property damage. The revised agreement reduced the charge and required Woods to pay a $1,000 fine.

As part of the deal, Woods's driver's license was suspended for five years.
