Tiger Woods' hospital records are in play for Florida prosecutors, a judge has ruled in his DUI case.

Martin County circuit court judge Darren Steele has approved an agreement between the State Attorney's Office and Woods' legal team that will allow prosecutors to request records from the hospital that treated the PGA legend following his March 27 crash.

Back in May, Steele approved a similar agreement granting prosecutors access to Woods' prescription medication records from his Palm Beach pharmacy between January 1 and his March crash.

Prosecutors and Woods' attorney Doug Duncan have agreed to a protective order that limits the release of any hospital or prescription records to the State Attorney's Office, law enforcement, state experts and the defense.

He is due back in court on August 4.  

Woods, 50, was detained on March 27 after flipping his SUV while trying to overtake a truck and trailer at high speed in the billionaire enclave of Jupiter Island.

After police found two opioid painkillers in his pocket at the scene, the golf legend was charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Woods sought professional help in Zurich, Switzerland following the crash, briefly returning to Florida after girlfriend Vanessa Trump revealed her breast cancer diagnosis before ultimately finishing treatment.

Last week, he made a surprise appearance at a PGA press conference in Connecticut, where he introduced CEO Brian Rolapp.

Otherwise, Woods has been mostly silent since his arrest.

Woods was closing in on a return to golf and was widely expected to compete at The Masters in the days before the crash.

He hasn't competed since the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland and has since undergone surgery to repair a torn Achilles as well as a seventh back procedure.

Should Tiger Woods’ medical records be used in court, or does this cross a line for privacy?

What's your view?

The latest saga is the fourth time he has been in trouble after being behind the wheel of a car.

He was arrested for another DUI in 2017 after police found him slumped in his car in Florida with five drugs in his system, including two painkillers.

Woods was later involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, which shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle. He needed multiple surgeries in order to recover from his injuries and has struggled with the troubling heel issue plantar fasciitis ever since.

He also crashed into a fire hydrant in November 2009 as he tried to flee his Florida home after his then-wife Elin Nordegren discovered his infidelities.
