Prosecutors in Florida are seeking to subpoena Tiger Woods' prescription drug records from a local pharmacy, a week after the golf star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a rollover crash in the state. The prosecutors want to obtain details on the times the prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, dosage amounts, and any warnings about driving while taking the medications.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing challenges around prescription drug use and impaired driving, especially for high-profile athletes like Tiger Woods who have faced multiple car crashes and legal issues related to medication. Prosecutors are likely seeking to determine if any prescription drugs played a role in Woods' recent DUI arrest and crash.

The details

According to court documents, prosecutors in Martin County, Florida, plan to issue a subpoena to Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach to obtain Woods' prescription records from the start of 2026 through the end of last month. They want to know the specifics of any medications Woods was taking, including the times the prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, the dosage amounts, and any instructions or warnings about driving while using the drugs. Woods pleaded not guilty in his DUI case last week, hours after a sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment following the rollover crash, in which his SUV clipped a trailer and sustained $5,000 in damage.
