Tiger Woods is currently fighting a court subpoena that would give prosecutors access to his prescription drug history as part of an ongoing DUI-related legal case in Florida.

According to court filings, prosecutors in Florida are seeking detailed pharmacy records tied to Woods following a March 31 rollover crash near his home. The requested records reportedly include information such as prescription types, dosage amounts, refill frequency, and usage instructions.

Woods’ legal team has pushed back strongly, arguing that his medical and prescription history is protected by privacy rights and should not be disclosed unless the court first proves it is directly relevant to the criminal investigation. His attorney has requested a formal hearing and also asked for a protective order to restrict how any records could be used or shared.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, argue the records could help clarify whether medication may have played a role in the incident. Police reports from the scene noted signs of possible impairment, and Woods was reportedly found with prescription painkillers in his possession. He has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI and related charges.

The case has now become a broader legal dispute over the balance between personal medical privacy and criminal investigative authority. While privacy protections exist, courts can compel disclosure if prosecutors demonstrate sufficient relevance to the case.

Woods has already taken a step back from professional golf, announcing that he is focusing on his health and undergoing treatment abroad following the incident.

The court has not yet ruled on whether the subpoena will be fully enforced, meaning the dispute over his prescription records remains ongoing and could become a significant point in the DUI proceedings.
