Tiger Woods is fighting to keep his prescription drug records private as prosecutors continue building their case following his March DUI arrest.
According to court documents filed Wednesday, Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, objected to a request from prosecutors seeking access to the golfer’s pharmacy records from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida.
Duncan argued that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy regarding his medical information.
“This right is admittedly not absolute should the State show the relevance of the records to its criminal investigation and thus warrant intrusion into Mr. Woods’ privacy,” Duncan wrote.
Prosecutors want details about Woods’ prescriptions between Jan. 1 and March 27, including how many times they were filled, the dosage amounts, the number of pills and any instructions that came with them.
The request also seeks warnings connected to the medication, including whether Woods was advised not to drive.
Woods pleaded not guilty in March after he was charged with misdemeanor DUI, refusal to submit to a lawful test and distracted driving.
Police said Woods appeared impaired after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled onto its side near his Florida home.
Duncan also asked the court to keep any records sealed if the subpoena is approved.
“The records shall not be disclosed to any third parties,” he wrote.
