Attorneys for Tiger Woods are no longer opposing prosecutors’ effort to get his prescription records in the DUI case tied to a late March crash on Jupiter Island. Doug Duncan appeared in court in Stuart on Woods’ behalf on Tuesday, and the judge said he would sign an order approving an agreement that keeps the records limited to attorneys and law enforcement.
That means the prescription records will not become part of the public record, and the news media will not be able to obtain them. Prosecutors had subpoenaed the records in a case that began after investigators said Woods flipped his SUV after colliding with a trailer. Officials said he showed signs of impairment and refused a test at the scene, then prosecutors charged him with driving under the influence.
The hearing added a narrow but important turn to a case that has moved slowly since Woods was arrested on April 2, 2026, after deputies said he struck a trailer and flipped his SUV while attempting to pass a pickup truck on South Beach Road on Jupiter Island. Woods has pleaded not guilty, and no trial date has been set.
Defense attorneys had earlier argued that the prescription records were private and not relevant to the DUI charge. A judge previously allowed Woods to travel overseas for inpatient rehabilitation, citing medical and privacy concerns, a decision that now sits alongside the court’s latest willingness to keep the records tightly sealed.
The agreement does not resolve the case, but it removes one fight from the docket and leaves the substance of the prosecution intact. Prosecutors are still pursuing the same DUI case, and the defense is still facing the crash evidence, the impairment allegations and the question of what the records may show, even if the public never sees them. As another sports name draws attention elsewhere, from Aj Ewing called up by Mets for likely debut against Tigers to Mia Show creator Bill Dubuque on Etta Tiger Jonze’s revenge story, Woods’ case remains its own, quieter test of how much of a high-profile arrest stays behind closed courtroom doors.
