Prosecutors Move to Subpoena Tiger Woods’ Prescription Records in DUI Case

The records could supply drug-impairment evidence after a 0.00 breath test and a refused urine screen.

Overview

  • Martin County prosecutors filed notice Tuesday to subpoena Lewis Pharmacy for all of Tiger Woods’ prescriptions from January 1 through March 27, including dosages, fill times, pill counts and any driving warnings, with a 10-day window to object and an April 22 issue date if unchallenged.
  • The March 27 rollover near Woods’ Jupiter Island home led deputies to report signs of impairment even as a breath test read 0.00, and officers say he refused a urine test and had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.
  • Woods has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts that include driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to testing, and he requested a jury trial.
  • Prosecutors want the pharmacy data to map what he was prescribed and warned about before the crash, which could help establish non-alcohol impairment because there is no toxicology from a urine test.
  • A judge approved travel for inpatient treatment outside the U.S., and Woods says he is stepping away from golf to focus on his health, which takes him out of near-term events such as the Masters; his past incidents include a 2017 DUI arrest and a serious 2021 crash.
