Tiger Woods’ lawyer and prosecutors are set to argue over prescription records in Florida DUI case
Prosecutors said the records may show whether medication affected Woods after a 0.00 breath test and a crash that left pills in his pocket.
- On Tuesday, Martin County Circuit Court Judge Darren Steele granted prosecutors' request to subpoena Tiger Woods' prescription records from a Palm Beach pharmacy covering January 1 through March 27, 2026.
- Prosecutors seek the records to investigate potential impairment following Woods' March 27 rollover crash on Jupiter Island, where authorities reported signs of impairment and found two hydrocodone pills despite a 0.00 breathalyzer result.
- Defense attorney Douglas Duncan initially objected to the subpoena, citing constitutional privacy rights, but both sides agreed to a protective order restricting record access to prosecutors, law enforcement, experts, and the defense.
- Woods, who pleaded not guilty to DUI charges, is currently receiving comprehensive inpatient treatment in Switzerland; the records will remain shielded from public view under the protective order.
- Legal expert Bob Jarvis notes that proving drug impairment lacks a standard measurement like alcohol's 0.08% threshold, and the case moves toward a June 2, 2026, status conference.
