Judge Approves Tiger Woods Hospital Records Release in DUI Case After March 27 Crash

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 2

Summary

  • Prosecutors can now obtain Tiger Woods’ records from Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital after Judge Darren Steeler approved a defense-state agreement tied to the March 27 Florida crash.
  • The records could help support DUI charges stemming from the Jupiter Island wreck, where Woods’ vehicle hit a truck trailer, flipped, and caused $5,000 in damage on a 30-mph road.
  • Investigators found two prescription painkillers in Woods’ pocket and noted signs of impairment; a Breathalyzer showed no alcohol, and Woods refused a urine test.
  • The hospital order follows a May agreement that gave prosecutors access to Woods’ pharmacy records from the start of 2026 through the end of March, while limiting disclosure to prosecutors, law enforcement, experts and the defense.
  • Woods has pleaded not guilty and recently resurfaced publicly after being allowed on April 1 to travel abroad for inpatient treatment.
