Tiger Woods fights attempts to subpoena his pharmacy records
Prosecutors are seeking to obtain Woods' prescription drug records in wake of rollover accident.
Attorneys for Tiger Woods are fighting prosecutors’ attempts to subpoena Woods’ prescription records for 2026. After a rollover wreck on Jupiter Island, Fla. , last month , Woods was arrested for DUI after officers at the scene described his demeanor as “lethargic.
” Investigators later found two pills identified as hydrocodone in Woods’ pocket. Last week, Florida prosecutors filed a motion of intent to subpoena Woods to obtain his prescription drug records from a local pharmacy between the dates of Jan. 1, 2026 and March 27, 2026, the day of the crash.
They are seeking information on the medications prescribed, their dosages, and any warnings about driving while using the medication. Woods has pleaded not guilty to the charges of DUI, and his attorneys filed a response to the state’s motion on Wednesday, according to ESPN . Woods’ right to privacy, his attorney noted, should require a hearing to determine the necessity of subpoenaing those records.
"This right is admittedly not absolute should the State show the relevance of the records to its criminal investigation and thus warrant intrusion into Mr. Woods' privacy," Woods’ attorney Douglas Duncan wrote. He further indicated that if the court does grant the state’s request for a subpoena, the records should be kept from public release in order to protect Woods’ privacy.
