Tiger Woods’ lawyer agrees to hand over prescription drug records to prosecutors

  • A Florida judge ruled that Tiger Woods' prescription drug records must be handed over to prosecutors following his arrest in March on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI).
  • Judge Darren Steele approved an agreement between Woods' defense attorney and prosecutors, allowing access to records from a Palm Beach pharmacy covering January through March.
  • Woods' defense attorney, Doug Duncan, initially argued for his client's constitutional right to privacy but conceded, with prosecutors agreeing to a protective order limiting access to the sensitive records.
  • Woods has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge, which arose after deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and observed signs of impairment following his SUV's collision with a truck's trailer.
  • Authorities reported Woods was traveling at excessive speeds on a residential road, causing significant damage, and while he agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no alcohol, he refused a urine test.
