Tiger Woods’ hospital records will be handed over to prosecutors in Florida DUI case, judge rules
Prosecutors can review hospital and prescription records as they investigate whether Woods was impaired in the March crash, court records show.
- Martin County Judge Darren Steele approved an agreement last week allowing prosecutors to obtain Tiger Woods' hospital records from Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital following his March 27 crash on Jupiter Island.
- Woods' Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage during the March 27 crash on Jupiter Island, where authorities found pain pills and signs of impairment; he has pleaded not guilty to DUI charges.
- Judge Steele signed a protective order on June 23 limiting access to the medical records, ensuring only prosecutors, law enforcement officers, state experts, and Woods' defense team may review the confidential documents.
- Prosecutors seek "any and all reports documenting statements of the patient regarding alcohol or chemical substances use" and drug screening results, with the agreement requiring advance notice before court introduction.
- A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 4, while Woods previously challenged a separate prosecution request for his prescription drug records in April, having sought treatment outside the United States.
