Golfer Tiger Woods has pleaded not guilty to a charge of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) following his arrest in Palm beach, Florida in May.

He is now expected to admit to a lesser charge of reckless driving and enter a 12-month probation program.

Dashcam footage of his arrest was released by police in Florida after they found him asleep at the wheel.

Mr Woods later apologised, blaming the incident on “an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications”.

A blood sample taken after his arrest tested positive for painkiller Vicodin and antidepressant Xanax, but proved he had no alcohol in his system.

Mr Woods did not appear in court in Palm Beach and his lawyer entered the charge on his behalf.
