Prosecutors Target Woods' Med Records After Florida DUI

Prosecutors are seeking Tiger Woods' prescription drug records following his recent Florida arrest, including dosage information and driving warnings from pill bottles. The legal request, filed in court, could provide crucial evidence for the case against the 15-time major champion. Woods has pleaded not guilty to the driving under the influence charge.

Court documents show the subpoena will be issued on April 22 if Woods' legal team doesn't object within 10 days. The investigation follows a car crash where Woods' vehicle clipped a truck and rolled over. While no one was injured, officers found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and suspect his faculties were impaired by an unknown substance.

This marks Woods' second DUI arrest, following a 2017 incident where toxicology reports showed five drugs in his system. The 48-year-old golfer has stepped away from competition to seek treatment, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation. His legal team now faces a critical decision about whether to challenge the prescription records subpoena or allow prosecutors to proceed with their case.
