Golf great Tiger Woods and his legal team are pushing back against Florida prosecutors in his ongoing DUI case, arguing that a subpoena for his prescription drug records represents an unconstitutional intrusion into his privacy.

Martin County prosecutors have subpoenaed Woods’ prescription records from a Palm Beach pharmacy for the period from Jan. 1 to March 27, 2026.

Details requested include types of medications, prescription fill dates and times, number of pills dispensed, dosage amounts, refill information, and any special instructions or warnings – especially those related to driving a motor vehicle. The latter of these seems highly relevant to the case.

Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, filed a formal response this week, requesting an evidentiary hearing to determine the relevance of the records and, if the subpoena is ultimately granted, a protective order to protect the information from public disclosure. They argue that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy.

Duncan wrote, “This right is certainly not absolute; should the State show the relevance of the record to its criminal investigation and thus warrant an intrusion into Mr. Woods’s privacy, the State is not entitled to receive the record.”

Tiger Woods battles prosecutors over confidentiality of prescription records in DUI case

Woods, like player As readers know, he was arrested following a single vehicle rollover accident in Jupiter Island, Florida on March 27. Officers reported finding two hydrocodone pills in his pocket during his arrest, and Woods admitted to taking several medications earlier that day. He was charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusing a chemical or physical test.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck by crossing the double line and speeding, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

“I looked down at my phone … and all of a sudden – acceleration,” Woods said in the bodycam footage.

Officers at the scene observed “severe signs of impairment”, including bloodshot eyes, extremely dilated pupils, excessive sweating and an unsteady gait. A breathalyzer test found no alcohol, but Woods refused blood or urine tests to check for other substances. Officers later found pills in his pocket.

The 15-time major champion pleaded not guilty to the charges shortly after the incident and publicly vowed to seek treatment. Days after the accident, his private plane was seen landing in Switzerland, which is known for its elite medical facilities.

The outcome of the privacy challenge could significantly impact how prosecutors make their impaired driving arguments.

Golf great Tiger Woods was officially charged with two misdemeanors this week — driving under the influence with property damage and refusing to submit to a chemical or physical test following his single-vehicle rollover crash late last month.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck by crossing the double line and speeding, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

“I looked down at my phone … and all of a sudden – acceleration,” Woods said in the bodycam footage.

He also called President Trump after the crash and just before failing some field sobriety tests, seemingly trying to dissuade authorities from turning him in.

Officers at the scene observed “severe signs of impairment”, including bloodshot eyes, extremely dilated pupils, excessive sweating and an unsteady gait. A breathalyzer test found no alcohol, but Woods refused blood or urine tests to check for other substances. Officers later found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.

Woods was arrested that afternoon on suspicion of DUI with property damage, booked and released on bond a few hours later. He has since entered a not guilty plea and requested a jury trial.

The 15-time major champion has retained criminal defense attorney Douglas Duncan, the same attorney who represented him in a 2017 DUI case in Florida that ended with a guilty plea to reckless driving.

Four days after the accident, Woods released a statement announcing that he would step away from golf for treatment and focus on his health. “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation in which I find myself today,” he wrote.

“I am taking some time away to receive treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”

Court documents indicate Woods has already been cleared to travel abroad for treatment. The charge comes at a critical moment for the golfer, who has battled multiple back surgeries and other injuries in recent years and was preparing for a limited 2026 schedule that included the Masters. He will not compete at Augusta National this year.

The formal arraignment on April 7 marks the latest chapter in a case that has faced intense public scrutiny.

A court date has not yet been set. Any misdemeanor conviction carries the potential for a prison sentence as the statutory maximum penalty. However, this seems unlikely.

If convicted, the misdemeanor charge can carry a fine, probation and possible license suspension, although the penalty will depend on the outcome of any plea negotiations or trial.

Golf legend Tiger Woods said Tuesday he is taking some time off from the game to get treatment and focus on his health after being arrested on DUI charges in Florida last week.

The 50-year-old man was arrested Friday afternoon after a rollover accident near his home on Jupiter Island.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

Deputies observed signs of weakness while seated in the back of an air-conditioned vehicle, including bloodshot eyes, dilated pupils and excessive sweating.

Woods was charged with driving under the influence with damage to property and refusing a lawful test. A search found hydrocodone pills in his pocket, although a breathalyzer test showed he had no alcohol in his system.

He was booked into the Martin County Jail and later released on bond.

Tiger Woods stepping away from golf to focus on health

On Tuesday, Woods entered a not guilty plea in court. A few hours later, he released a statement on social media addressing the situation.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation in which I find myself today,” he wrote. “I am taking some time away to receive treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”

Woods added:

“I am committed to taking the time needed to return to a healthier, stronger and more centered place personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones, and myself at this time.”

Thank God he’s at least taking some time to consider the implications of what’s happened here. Woods now has an extensive history of driving accidents, many of which involved prescription drugs.

He really needs to get it together. Not only for him, but also for his new girlfriend Vanessa Trump and their children.

The announcement and this latest accident come as Woods is recovering from multiple back surgeries and considering competing in upcoming events, including the Masters.

Further details about the timeline of his absence were not immediately available.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has suggested that the 15-time major champion spend some time in prison to make him realize the reality of his situation.N. He rightly points out that it is not just about the safety of the tiger.

“When you drive while impaired, you’re not just putting yourself at risk. You’re putting someone else on the road, innocent people (at risk),” Portnoy said. “You really can’t take this lightly. I have no sympathy for that guy.”

“I don’t know anybody who’s ever flipped a car. This guy flips a car every two weeks! So, you know what? Put him behind bars, put him in jail for a while, and wake him up.”

Woods’ case is pending in Martin County Court.

Tiger Woods finally returns to professional golf for the first time since 2024. On Tuesday night, Woods’ team, Jupiter Links Golf Club, lost to Los Angeles Golf Club in the 2026 TGL Championship. It was the 50-year-old’s first professional appearance since the 2024 Open Championship.

Over the past two years, Woods has battled an Achilles tendon rupture and is scheduled to undergo lumbar disc replacement surgery in October 2025. However, does this mean Woods could return to the Masters for the first time since 2024? This is not a guarantee.

“This body … it doesn’t heal like it did at 24, 25 years old,” Woods said after the TGL Championship. “That doesn’t mean I’m not trying. I’ve had some bad injuries here over the years that I’ve had to fight through and it’s taken some time. But I keep trying… I want to play [in the Masters]. I like tournaments. I’m going to be attending The Loop as well as the Champions Dinner happening there anyway. … We’ll see how it goes. “I’m going to practice this week, play at home and keep trying to progress.”

Woods did not give a timeline for when a decision would be made. The five-time Masters winner will soon have to decide whether he will participate in the tournament or not. The Masters is scheduled to start in about two weeks on April 9, so Woods will have to see how his body responds now.

In 2024, Woods made the weekend at Augusta National setting a new tournament record with 24 consecutive cuts. The 50-year-old is a golf legend, but it will be important to get back to playing at the Masters after all his injuries.

The Los Angeles Lakers got off to a strong start to the unofficial second half of their season on Friday with a narrow home win over the Los Angeles Clippers thanks to great play from Luka Doncic. They’ll try to keep things going on Sunday with a big game at the Boston Celtics, in the latest edition of the NBA’s most historic rivalry.

Before the game, the Lakers received a pep talk from an unexpected source: golf legend Tiger Woods.

“The Lakers continued their ‘Genius Talks’ series with a field trip to Riviera Country Club on Saturday for the Genesis Invitational, with Rob Pelinka arranging Tiger Woods’ visit and address for the team,” former NBA insider Dave McMenamin of ESPN reported on Twitter.

Previous guests on the series have included actor Will Smith, among others.

The Lakers will certainly need all the expertise they can get on Sunday against a Celtics team that has not lived up to expectations so far this season, looking like a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference despite playing without Jayson Tatum, who is close to returning from his Achilles injury.

The Celtics began their post-All-Star Game slate with a blowout win over the shorthanded Golden State Warriors on Thursday, and the Lakers will have to do their best to protect Boston wing Jaylen Brown, who has worked his way into fringe MVP conversations for his play so far this year.

Of course, the Celtics will have no easy task in themselves as they attempt to guard the Lakers’ three-headed snake of Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves, who had a solid game against the Clippers on Friday.

In any case, the Lakers and Clippers are set to kick off in Los Angeles on Sunday at the unusual start time of 6:30 pm ET, with the game being televised by NBC.
