Tiger Woods, who remains in rehab, suffered a blow in court in his DUI case as he’s forced to hand over his prescription records to prosecutors.
Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, appeared in Martin County Court in Stuart, Florida, on Tuesday morning after objecting to state prosecutors’ subpoena requesting the athlete’s medical records.
More specifically, they asked for information about Woods’ prescriptions filled between Jan. 1 and March 27, 2026 — the date of his rollover car crash and subsequent arrest.

During the hearing, Duncan — who previously argued that his client had a constitutional right to privacy — said he discussed the matter with prosecutors and asked that the records be sealed from the public.
Prosecutors agreed to the request, which Judge Darren Steele signed off on before granting the state’s motion and ending the hearing.
On the afternoon of March 27, Woods was involved in a rollover car crash near his Jupiter Island home.

He was driving his Land Rover when he attempted to pass a utility pressure cleaner truck and allegedly clipped the back end of the truck’s trailer, causing his car to roll.
Woods, who did not sustain any injuries in the accident, was forced to crawl out of his vehicle.
Responding officers observed “signs of impairment” and “located two white pills inside [his] left side pant pocket,” which were “revealed to be hydrocodone.”

Though Woods passed a breathalyzer test, he failed field sobriety tests and “refused a urinalysis,” leading to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, causing damage to property or a person, and refusal to submit to a lawful breath, blood or urine test. (He was later charged with a non-criminal citation for careless driving resulting in a crash, which carries a small fine.)
The five-time Masters winner — who has a history of substance-involved car accidents — pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 31.
Later that day, he announced he would be taking a break from his profession to get help.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he explained in a statement posted on X.
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
Woods continued, “I’m committed to taking the time needed to return to a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally.”

He concluded by expressing appreciation for the public’s “understanding and support” while asking for “privacy.”
According to the Daily Mail, Woods checked into a rehab facility in Switzerland in mid-April to begin a three-month stay.
The outlet claimed the father of two — who is dating Vanessa Trump — would be undergoing “intense” psychological treatment and figuring out how to manage his body pain “without addictive opioids.”
