The May 12 hearing was held after Woods’ lawyers objected to the state’s plan to subpoena the golfer’s prescription records, citing Woods’ right to privacy of medical records while acknowledging that the right is not absolute should the prosecutors provide a compelling and relevant need for the records.
According to Treasure Coast Newspapers‘ report, Woods’ lawyer Douglas Duncan requested “the records obtained by the state can be shared by their law enforcement people, their experts, shared with me and no one else.”
The 50-year-old Woods was arrested in March after rolling his Land Rover in Jupiter Island, Fla.
The 15-time major champion agreed to a breathalyzer but refused to provide a urine sample following the crash.
