Prosecutors in Florida are planning to issue a subpoena to obtain copies of all prescription medication records for legendary golfer Tiger Woods from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida, from the start of the year through the end of last month, a week after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a vehicle crash. According to documents in an online court docket, prosecutors in Martin County want details including the times prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, dosage amounts, and any instructions such as warnings about driving while taking the medication.

Any objections to the subpoena must be filed with the State Attorney's Office within 10 days. Neither Lewis Pharmacy nor Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, immediately responded to requests for comment. Last week, Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida, hours after a sheriff's report indicated that deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.

Authorities stated that the accident occurred when Woods was traveling at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30-mile per hour (nearly 50 km per hour) speed limit. An incident report noted $5,000 in damage to the truck. Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol but refused a urine test, according to officials. Last week, Woods announced he is stepping away to seek treatment.

This marks the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person, which lasted four months, and he returned at the Masters tournament. He was also involved in a 2021 car crash in Los Angeles that damaged his right leg so severely he said doctors considered amputation.
