A Florida judge rules that prosecutors may review medical records connected to Tiger Woods’ March vehicle crash and his later arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. The decision follows an agreement approved by Judge Darren Steele between Woods’ defense attorney and the State Attorney’s Office, which allows the prosecution to access hospital-related documentation related to the incident. The ruling does not indicate the records are automatically admitted into evidence, but instead permits prosecutors to examine them as part of the DUI case.
According to reporting summarized across outlets, Woods is alleged to have agreed to a Breathalyzer test after the crash while refusing a urine test. The case centers on the circumstances surrounding the March crash in Florida, including Woods’ performance on administered testing and the medical information generated in connection with the incident and aftermath. The judge’s order focuses specifically on whether prosecutors can obtain and review the medical records, addressing the dispute between the defense and the state over access to that information.
