Prosecutors have been allowed to review Tiger Woods’ medical records related to his March car crash in Florida that led to his arrest on DUI charges.
Judge Darren Steeler last week approved a deal between Woods’ defense and the state attorney general’s office that allows prosecutors to request records from the Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital. Woods was taken there after the March 27 crash.
A similar deal was reached in May that gave prosecutors access to all prescription drugs for Woods at a Palm Beach, Florida pharmacy. The records were from the start of 2026 to the end of March.

Doug Duncan, who represents Woods in this case, reached an agreement with prosecutors to allow the release of records from both the hospital and the pharmacy only to them, law enforcement, state experts and the defense team.
Woods, who recently made his first public appearance since his car crash made national headlines, pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. He was found with two prescription painkillers in his pocket during the arrest, while also showing signs of impairment.
