Tiger Woods has found himself even deeper in the rough as the golf icon has now officially been charged with DUI.
Woods was arrested last month after being in involved in a rollover car crash near his home in Jupiter, Fla.
According to TMZ, Woods’ charges of driving under the influence and refusing to take a chemical or physical test of his breath or urine were made official on Tuesday.
The outlet also reported that both charges are misdemeanours and that Woods could be “facing time behind bars.”
On Wednesday, the New York Post reported that prosecutors in Florida are seeking records in connection to medications that the star golfer has been using — including any warnings that came with them.
Martin County Florida prosecutors reportedly will issue a subpoena to Lewis Pharmacy on April 22 for information about every prescription drug that Woods has been given from Jan. 1, 2026, through March 27 – the date of his most recent car crash.
The court filing shows that prosecutors are attempting to ascertain whether any of Woods’ medications included warnings against “operating a motor vehicle while taking the prescription.”
Among the information requested is the “date and time prescription was filled, type of prescription, number of pills in each prescription, the dosage amount, and all special instructions.”
The Post reports that the notice was filed by Assistant State Attorney Nirlaine Tallandier Smartt on Tuesday and that Woods and his attorneys have 10 days to object.
What did bodycam footage of Woods’ arrest show?
Bodycam footage from police officers at the scene of Woods’ rollover crash and subsequent arrest released last week showed the golf legend looking dazed before appearing to fall asleep in a police car.
In the footage released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Woods is first seen kneeling on the side of the road before being approached by an officer.
During the 17-minute clip, which also includes footage of Woods being transported to jail for processing, the 50-year-old star appears to be sweaty and lethargic, while moving unsteadily as he is questioned by police about the incident.
Woods shares his explanation as to how the crash occurred, admitting to being distracted and looking at his phone as he attempted to overtake a truck.
“I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden … boom!” Woods tells the officer.
The clip also shows field sobriety tests being administered to Woods, followed by the 15-time major champion being handcuffed and arrested.
While Woods was in the back of the police vehicle, he remained silent, but can be seen yawning, fighting off hiccups, and appearing to briefly fall asleep.
Did Woods call President Trump from crash scene?
The golfer also told a police officer that he briefly stepped away from the scene to make a call to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Woods is seen talking on the phone and having walked down a path away from the scene and, when a police officer asks him to return to the area, Woods replied that he had been talking to the U.S. president.
“Mr. Woods, let me get you to hang with us down here, please,” the officer said in the footage.
“All right, you got it. Thank you, bye,” Woods can be heard saying on the phone before ending the call and placing his phone in his back pocket.
Woods then asked the officer “Is that good?” to which the cop repeated his request for the golfer to return to where a police vehicle was parked.
“Yeah, I was just talking to the president,” Woods replied while walking past the officer.
Woods seeking treatment in Switzerland
Woods later announced via social media that he will be stepping away from public life to focus on his recovery and long-term health reportedly at a facility in Switzerland.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” he wrote.
“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Martin County judge Darren Steele granted Woods a request to attend an “out of country treatment facility” for his rehab.
According to court filings, Woods’ lawyer, Douglas Duncan, stated that “based upon (Woods’) treating physician, the out of treatment facility recommendation is based upon (Woods’) complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done in the United States as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised.”
Woods also reportedly posted a US$1,150 bond when he was released from Martin County jail last Friday and no travel restrictions were issued.
