Prosecutors Move to Subpoena Tiger Woods' Hospital Records

They say the files could include patient statements and drug-test results that prosecutors view as central to proving impairment.

Overview

  • Prosecutors filed notice on June 13 that they intend to subpoena medical records from Cleveland Clinic Martin South related to Woods' post-crash treatment.
  • The records request targets any patient statements about alcohol or chemical substance use, all drug-screen results, and the names of staff who conducted tests.
  • Police arrested Woods after a March 27 rollover crash in Martin County and reported signs of impairment and two hydrocodone pills found on his person.
  • Woods has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers have until June 25 to object to the planned subpoena, which prosecutors say will be formally issued on June 30.
  • Prosecutors previously won court-ordered access to Woods' local pharmacy prescription records and the new effort could prompt further fights over medical privacy and protective orders.
