Tiger Woods might have his license suspended, but there’s one vehicle he can still drive.
As part of Woods’ plea of no contest on Wednesday to a reckless driving charge, the 15-time major champion golfer had his license suspended for five years. But that won’t preclude him from driving a golf cart — at least in Florida.
While there was some confusion over the golf cart point, including during a bizarre moment during a press conference when state attorney Thomas Bakkedahl was genuinely stumped about whether Woods would be able to drive one as part of his plea deal.
“Oh my god, that’s a great question,” he said when a journalist asked if Woods could drive a golf cart. “Yeah, I think you… Can you drive a golf… You know what, you got me. We’ll have to look into that. I’ll get back to you. I know you cannot drive a golf cart while impaired on the roads, because it is a vehicle. My gut reaction is going to be no, but great question.”
The moment, which was shared by the popular golf account NUCLR Golf, caught the attention of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who responded to the post.
“Tiger should be able to drive a golf cart on the golf course,” DeSantis wrote on X.
The Post confirmed with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office that Woods, 50, “absolutely can drive a golf cart on a golf course.”
“When it comes to county and public roads, jurisdictions have different rules and laws about driving golf carts on public roads, so it could be different everywhere,” the Martin County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer told The Post.
Woods pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge stemming from his March rollover crash near his Jupiter home.
The four-time PGA Championship winner was initially accused of driving under the influence after he clipped a truck while driving his SUV and rolled over.
Woods had two pain pills in his pocket and showed signs of impairment, according to the sheriff’s report.
His breathalyzer test came back negative, but Woods refused to give a urine sample.
