Defector • • sports
Key Points:
- A judge ruled that Tiger Woods must submit his prescription drug records to law enforcement as part of the investigation into his March 27 traffic crash, but the records will not be made public under Florida's public-records law.
- The court limited the subpoenaed records to Woods' prescriptions from January 1 to March 27, 2023, and allowed access only to the defense team, the state attorney's office, designated law enforcement, and prosecution experts.
- Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and refusing a drug test after his vehicle crashed and rolled over in Jupiter Island, Florida.
- Deputies noted Woods appeared lethargic and found two hydrocodone pills on him; Woods admitted to taking prescription medications but denied alcohol or illegal drug use, and a breath test showed no alcohol in his system.
- Woods refused to provide a urine sample, which is part of the ongoing investigation into the circumstances of the crash.
