Tiger Woods' Prescription Drama: DUI Case Intensifies

Tiger Woods' prescription medication records will be released to prosecutors after his March arrest for suspected DUI. A Florida judge approved the decision during a brief court hearing. Prosecutors have subpoenaed records to investigate Woods' alleged impairment; he pleaded not guilty, testing negative for alcohol but refusing a urine test.

In a developing controversy, Tiger Woods' prescription drug records are set to be disclosed to prosecutors following his arrest in March for suspected driving under the influence. A Florida judge, Darren Steele, ratified the provision to release the records after a succinct hearing in the Martin County circuit court.

This decision follows the issuance of a subpoena by prosecutors, demanding access to recorded prescriptions at a Palm Beach pharmacy from January to March. Woods' defense attorney, Doug Duncan, initially argued for Woods' privacy rights; however, during the hearing, he acknowledged the potential for compelling arguments justifying the need for these records.

Woods, who pleaded not guilty, tested negative for alcohol but denied a urine test. Deputies reported finding two pain pills in his possession after his vehicle was involved in a high-speed accident, impairing his driving capacity.
