SouthernWorldwide.com – Prosecutors have been granted permission to access Tiger Woods’ medical records pertaining to the car crash he was involved in back in March in Florida. This incident led to his subsequent arrest on charges of driving under the influence.
Judge Darren Steele has officially approved an agreement that was reached between Woods’ defense team and the State Attorney’s Office. This approval allows prosecutors to formally request medical records from the Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital. It is important to note that Woods was transported to this very hospital following the accident on March 27.
A similar arrangement was previously established in May. This earlier agreement provided prosecutors with access to all prescription medication records for Woods from a pharmacy located in Palm Beach, Florida. These records covered the period from the beginning of 2026 up to the end of March.
Doug Duncan, who is serving as Woods’ legal representative in this case, has finalized an agreement with the prosecution. This pact stipulates that the release of records, both from the hospital and the pharmacy, will be restricted. Access will be limited to the prosecutors themselves, law enforcement officers, state experts, and the defense team.
Tiger Woods, who recently made his first public appearance since the widely reported car crash, has entered a plea of not guilty to the driving under the influence charge. During his arrest, he was found to be in possession of two prescription painkillers. Authorities also noted that he exhibited clear signs of impairment at the time.
The incident report details that Woods’ vehicle collided with a truck’s trailer and subsequently overturned. Investigators noted that Woods was traveling at a high speed on a road with a posted limit of 30 mph. The crash also resulted in an estimated $5,000 worth of damage to the truck he impacted.
Woods had initially consented to undergo a Breathalyzer test. The results of this test indicated that there were no traces of alcohol in his system. However, according to law enforcement reports, he refused to provide a urine sample.
In early April, Woods received official permission to travel outside of the country. This travel was for the purpose of entering an inpatient treatment center, which was reportedly located in Zurich, Switzerland.
Since completing his treatment, Woods made his first public appearance late last month. He introduced PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp at a significant press conference for the golf organization. This marked his initial public outing since returning from his rehabilitation stay.
Woods has been actively involved in the Tour’s Future Competition Committee, taking on a leadership role. During his brief introduction of Brian Rolapp, he described this responsibility as a “privilege.”
