Prosecutors are seeking all the records connected to Tiger Woods' prescription medications, including dosage and warnings about driving on pill bottles, according to court documents.
Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence following a car crash in Florida last month. The golfer has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
A court filing indicated that the legal request to access Woods' prescription records could provide crucial evidence for the prosecutors' case, with the subpoena set for issuance on April 22.
Woods' legal team has the opportunity to contest the subpoena within ten days, or it will be enforced as planned.
In preliminary footage released, Woods appears calm during interactions with officers, explaining that he had looked down at his phone before the crash incident. Fortunately, no one was injured, but Woods was required to exit his vehicle through the passenger side.
Woods reportedly passed a breathalyzer test but chose not to partake in a urinalysis screening for other drugs. He disclosed to officers that he had taken prescription medications earlier that day. Authorities later discovered two white pills in his possession, identified as hydrocodone, a common opioid used for pain management.
Woods acknowledged in a post on X that he understands the seriousness of the situation and announced he would be temporarily stepping away to seek treatment and prioritize his health.
This incident marks a troubling pattern for Woods, who has previously faced similar legal issues related to driving under the influence, including an incident in 2017 when he was found asleep in his vehicle with multiple substances in his system at the time.
