ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida authorities are taking steps to obtain Tiger Woods’ medication records from a local pharmacy following the golf star’s recent arrest on driving under the influence charges after a vehicle crash.
Officials in Martin County announced Tuesday their intention to subpoena Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach for comprehensive prescription records covering the golf legend from January through last month. The request encompasses all medications on file for Woods during that timeframe.
The subpoena will demand detailed information including when prescriptions were dispensed, pill quantities, dosage specifications, and any accompanying guidance such as driving warnings, based on court documents available online.
Lewis Pharmacy and Woods’ legal representative Doug Duncan have 10 days to file any challenges to the subpoena with the State Attorney’s Office. Neither the pharmacy nor Duncan responded immediately to requests for comment.
Last week, Woods entered a not guilty plea to the DUI charges. A sheriff’s department report indicated that officers discovered two pain medication pills on Woods and observed signs of impairment following an incident where his SUV struck a trailer and overturned.
The crash happened on Jupiter Island’s beachfront residential streets, where Woods was reportedly driving at excessive speeds in a zone with a 30 mph limit. The vehicle sustained approximately $5,000 in damages, incident reports show. While Woods consented to a breath test that detected no alcohol, he declined to provide a urine sample.
Woods announced last week his decision to step back and pursue treatment.
This marks Woods’ second hiatus following a vehicle accident. Following a 2009 crash near Orlando where his SUV struck a fire hydrant and tree outside his residence, he took a four-month break before returning at the Masters tournament to focus on personal improvement.
Woods also survived a serious 2021 Los Angeles area crash that severely injured his right leg, with injuries so severe that medical professionals initially considered amputation.
