The legal situation around Tiger Woods is getting a bit more complicated. According to Misryoum reporting, prosecutors have officially moved to subpoena the golfer’s prescription drug records. If anyone—like the pharmacy or his legal team—has an issue with this, they have exactly ten days to file an objection with the State Attorney’s Office. I’m sitting here hearing the steady, rhythmic hum of the office AC while writing this, and it feels like the kind of story that just keeps unfolding.
It’s worth noting that Lewis Pharmacy and Woods’s lawyer, Doug Duncan, haven’t said a word back to requests for comment. Or maybe they are just staying quiet for now. This comes right after Woods entered a not-guilty plea in his Florida DUI case just last week. The whole scene sounds pretty grim—the sheriff’s report says he showed signs of impairment and had two pain pills in his pocket after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over.
He was moving fast, too. The incident report from Misryoum notes he was traveling on a beachside residential road in Jupiter Island—where the limit is 30 mph—when things went sideways. The truck ended up with about $5,000 in damage, which is quite a hit. He did take a Breathalyzer that came back clean for alcohol, but he refused a urine test.
Woods mentioned he’s taking some time away for treatment.
This isn’t exactly new territory for him, honestly. Back in 2009, after that SUV incident involving a fire hydrant and a tree, he took a four-month break before returning to the Masters. It’s hard not to think about his 2021 crash in Los Angeles, too, where his leg was so badly mangled that doctors actually talked about amputation. It’s just a lot to process.
So, the subpoena is the current focus. It’s unclear how much these specific records will shift the DUI case, but it’s the next step the state is taking—actually, they seem pretty set on getting those files. Whether it changes the narrative remains to be seen.
