Jupiter Police Department officers arrested Woods on May 28 last year after finding him asleep in his Mercedes-Benz. Woods was under the influence of prescription painkillers and sleeping medication.
Woods was entered in diversion program for first-time offenders when he plead guilty to reckless driving in October. The 42-year-old also completed a program to help deal with his dependence on pain medication.
The 14-time major winner is in this week’s Tour Championship field, and will represent the United States at the upcoming Ryder Cup.
