Tiger Woods arrived at a Martin County, Florida courthouse on Wednesday morning for a change-of-plea hearing in his DUI case.

The golf legend was accompanied by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump.

The hearing, scheduled for 8:30 AM ET, relates to his March rollover crash near his Jupiter Island home.

Woods had previously pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of DUI with property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test.

It remains unclear what plea he will enter or whether a deal has been reached with prosecutors.

Authorities said Woods' Land Rover clipped a truck hauling a trailer before rolling over.

Deputies reported signs of impairment and failure in field sobriety tests.

A breathalyzer showed no alcohol, but Woods refused a urine sample, and two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket.

Following the arrest, Woods announced he would step away from golf to seek treatment.

A judge allowed him to travel overseas for care, and he returned to the U. S.

in June.

Wednesday's hearing was moved up from a previously scheduled Sept. 8 court date.
