Tiger Woods<\/a>‘ prescription drug records will be handed over to prosecutors following his March arrest in Florida<\/a> on suspicion of driving under the influence, a judge ruled Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Judge Darren Steele approved an agreement between Woods’ defense attorney and prosecutors following a four-minute hearing in Martin County circuit court, just north of Palm Beach County<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors had issued a subpoena<\/a> seeking copies of all prescription medication records for the legendary golfer at a Palm Beach pharmacy from the start of the year through the end of March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Defense attorney Doug Duncan had previously argued that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy when it comes to his prescription medications, but he acknowledged during the hearing that the right is not absolute and that prosecutors could make a compelling argument for why they were needed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, prosecutors agreed to Duncan’s request for a protective order limiting the release of records only to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, state experts and Woods’ defense team.<\/p>\n

Woods has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence<\/a>. A sheriff’s office report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket, and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a truck’s trailer and rolled onto its side.<\/p>\n

Woods was traveling at high speeds on a beachside, residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30 mph speed limit when his Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage to the truck, according to an incident report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but refused a urine test, authorities said.<\/p>\n
