The golf legend has entered a not guilty plea in his DUI case stemming from Friday's rollover crash in Florida. He's also bringing back a familiar face to handle it, per TMZ.

Woods has hired Douglas Duncan, the same attorney who represented him in his 2017 DUI case. Court records show Duncan filed paperwork on Woods' behalf, including a waiver allowing him to skip pretrial appearances.

No surprise there. Duncan knows this playbook.

Back in 2017, Woods was found asleep behind the wheel and later tested positive for multiple drugs. That case ended with a reduced charge, probation, and a diversion program.

This one could follow a similar path — or not.

The latest arrest comes with more details already out there. According to the report, Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of the crash. Deputies also described him as sweating heavily, moving slowly, and showing "severe signs of impairment."

His eyes were reportedly bloodshot and glassy, with extremely dilated pupils.

Woods told officers he hadn't been drinking and later blew a 0.000 on a breathalyzer. He admitted to taking prescription medication earlier in the day but refused a urine test.

As for the crash, Woods said he was looking at his phone and adjusting the radio when traffic slowed in front of him.

He now faces two charges: DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Next stop is court, this time, with a familiar lawyer and a lot already on the record.
