Tiger Woods’ prescription drug records will be given to prosecutors after his arrest in Florida for suspected driving under the influence. A judge approved this decision following an agreement between Woods’ lawyer and prosecutors. The records, from a Palm Beach pharmacy, cover the period from January to March. Woods’ lawyer argued for privacy but acknowledged the need for the records in the investigation. Prosecutors agreed to limit access to these records to specific parties. Woods, who pleaded not guilty, was found with pain pills and showed signs of impairment after an accident. He refused a urine test but passed a Breathalyzer. Woods is seeking treatment outside the U.S.
