A judge has approved the release of Tiger Woods' medical records from Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital to prosecutors handling his driving under the influence case. The records pertain to his arrest on March 27 following a single-vehicle crash on Jupiter Island, Florida.
Judge Darren Steeler greenlit an agreement between Woods' defense team and the State Attorney's Office this past week. This allows prosecutors to obtain records from the hospital where Woods was treated after the accident. In May, a similar agreement was reached granting prosecutors access to Woods' prescription medication records from a Palm Beach pharmacy covering the period from the start of 2026 through the end of March.
Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, negotiated the terms of the release. The agreement limits access to the hospital and pharmacy records to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, state experts, and the defense team.
Woods has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge. Authorities reported finding two prescription painkillers in his possession at the time of his arrest, and he exhibited signs of impairment. Bodycam footage captured his performance during a field sobriety test.
According to the incident report, Woods was traveling at a high speed on a road with a 30 mph speed limit when his vehicle struck and overturned a truck. The crash caused an estimated $5,000 in damage to the truck. Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test, which indicated no alcohol in his system, but he refused a urine test.
Following his arrest, Woods received permission on April 1 to travel to an inpatient treatment facility in Zurich, Switzerland. He has since made a public appearance, introducing PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp at a press conference late last month, marking his first public sighting since returning from treatment. During his remarks, Woods referred to his role on the Tour's Future Competition Committee as a "privilege."
