Tiger Woods' attorney is fighting prosecutors' attempts to subpoena the 15-time major champion's prescription drug records from a pharmacy, according to court records filed Wednesday.
In a response to the state's motion for a subpoena, attorney Douglas Duncan wrote that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy interest in his prescription records and requested a hearing to determine whether prosecutors should be allowed to obtain Woods' records on file at Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida.
"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 in the motion.
Tiger Woods Fights Back At Prosecutor's Request In Court
Tiger Woods is firing back at a prosecutor's request in court.
The 50-year-old PGA Tour star was arrested on suspicion of DUI at the end of March. He was involved in a rollover wreck on Jupiter Island in Florida. Woods, a 15-time major champion, was arrested at the scene. He's been charged with driving under the influence and refusing to submit to testing.
Last week, prosecutors in court filed a request, seeking Woods’ prescription drug records. Woods had some prescription pills on him at the time of his arrest. Woods told police “I took a few,” referencing medications, when questioned at the scene.

The fight over Tiger Woods’ prescription drug records picks up after DUI arrest
Tiger Woods’ legal team has objected to a subpoena request by Florida state prosecutors to release the pro golfer’s medication records after his DUI arrest in Jupiter Island on March 27, according to USA Today.
Prosecutors in the case, for which Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI, filed a notice in court on April 7, saying they planned to subpoena Woods’ medication records since Jan. 1.
“The defense objects to the issuance of a subpoena and requests the court to conduct a hearing to determine if the prescription records are ‘relevant to the criminal investigation,’” said Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan — adding that they want a protective order governing the use and release of the medication records to shield them from public view, the report continues.
