Tiger Woods’ DUI case moved into a new phase after a Florida judge approved prosecutors’ request to access the golf star’s prescription medication records linked to a March crash investigation.

The ruling, issued in Martin County on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, allows investigators to obtain records from a Palm Beach pharmacy covering prescriptions filled between January and March 2026. Prosecutors said the records could help determine whether medication played a role in the crash involving Tiger Woods.

Court Allows Limited Access to Records

Woods’ defense attorney, Doug Duncan, argued that the golfer’s medical information was protected under privacy rights. However, the court approved the request after prosecutors maintained the records were relevant to the impaired-driving investigation.

Judge Darren Steele also signed a protective order restricting access to prosecutors, law enforcement officials, approved experts and Woods’ legal team.

What Investigators Found

Authorities said Woods crashed his Land Rover on a residential road in Jupiter Island, Florida, after reportedly driving well above the posted 30 mph speed limit. Deputies said the SUV clipped a truck trailer before rolling onto its side.

According to the sheriff’s report, officers found two pain pills in Woods’ pocket at the scene. A Breathalyzer test reportedly showed no alcohol in his system, but investigators said Woods declined to provide a urine sample.

Woods has pleaded not guilty to the DUI-related charge.

Investigation Remains Active

Court records show Woods later traveled outside the United States for treatment at an inpatient facility. Prosecutors continue reviewing evidence as the investigation remains ongoing.

The case has drawn national attention because investigators are now focusing heavily on prescription medication records rather than alcohol use, officials said.
