ESPN: Tiger Woods' Hospital Records Subpoenaed in Florida DUI Case

Tiger Woods' DUI Case Moves to Court

Florida state prosecutors are advancing legal proceedings against Tiger Woods, with a subpoena targeting his medical records from a hospital visit following his March 27 DUI arrest. According to court filings in Martin County Circuit Court, the subpoena is set to be issued on June 30 to Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital.

What the Subpoena Seeks

Prosecutors are requesting all documentation of the patient's statements regarding alcohol or chemical substance use, as well as all drug screening results from the hospital visit. They also seek the names of medical personnel who treated Woods after his SUV rolled over near his Florida home.

Background on the Arrest

Woods, 50, was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test after his vehicle clipped a trailer and overturned. Two hydrocodone pills were found in his left pants pocket. He has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges.

In May, a circuit court judge also granted prosecutors access to Woods' prescription records from a Palm Beach pharmacy — a request his legal team had contested on privacy grounds.

Off-Course Context

Reports indicate Woods spent six weeks at a treatment facility in Switzerland before returning home to Florida. He briefly came back to the U.S. in May to support his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, who is receiving treatment for breast cancer.
