A judge in Florida has granted prosecutors\u2019 bid\u00a0to get Tiger Woods\u2019 prescription records\u00a0<\/a>in his drunk driving case, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Judge Darren Steele is allowing prosecutors to issue a subpoena to the pharmacy where the golf champ got his meds but the records will not be made public,\u00a0according to a report by TC Palm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month Martin County prosecutors said they were seeking sweeping information about the drugs from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, including any driving warnings that may have been on any of Woods\u2019 pill bottles.<\/p>\n

During a brief hearing Tuesday morning, Woods\u2019 lawyer, Douglas Duncan, told the judge the defense objected because \u201cMr. Woods has a constitutional right to privacy in the records.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duncan said he agreed to allow the subpoena to go forward if the records are only shared with prosecutors, law enforcement, experts and defense \u2014 but \u201cno one else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The office also wanted all information concerning Woods\u2019 meds issued from Jan. 1 through March 27 \u2013 the date of the accident \u2013 about when the scripts were filled, the number of pills in each bottle, the dosage and any special instructions, court records showed.<\/p>\n

Woods had allegedly been speeding along a residential road in his town when he rolled his Range Rover SUV and hit a tractor trailer while he was trying to pass near his home on Jupiter Island.\u00a0The wreck caused $5,000 worth of damage to the truck, according to a report of the incident.<\/p>\n

He passed a Breathalyzer test \u2014 which tested negative for alcohol \u2014 but Woods admitted he took \u201ca few pills\u201d and refused to take a urine test.<\/p>\n

Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket, a police report said.<\/p>\n

The five-time Masters winner announced he was stepping away from the sport to seek treatment. He has been in rehab in Switzerland since mid-April and is expected to remain there for three months, the Daily Mail reported.<\/p>\n

Woods has gotten into four car crashes since 2009 including one in which he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2017. He took a plea deal in that case.<\/p>\n
