- Golfing legend Tiger Woods' legal team is challenging a request from prosecutors to access his prescription drug records as part of an ongoing driving under the influence (DUI) case.
- Woods, who pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a rollover crash on 31 March, faces a subpoena for specific details of his prescriptions between 1 January and 27 March.
- Prosecutors are seeking information on filling frequency, pill quantities, dosage, and instructions from a Palm Beach pharmacy.
- Woods' lawyer, Douglas Duncan, has filed a motion questioning the relevance of the state's request and arguing it infringes upon his client's privacy rights.
- Should the court grant access, Mr Duncan has requested a protective order to ensure the records are disclosed only to prosecutors, defence lawyers, and law enforcement, preventing public dissemination.
