Tiger Woods, aged 50, is facing charges for driving under the influence following a crash on March 27 in Hobe Sound, Florida. According to court filings, Woods told police he had taken multiple prescription medications, including Vicodin, earlier that day but denied drinking alcohol. A breath test confirmed no alcohol in his system, although he refused a urine test for drugs. His remarks to officers were peculiar, including claims of drones flying over his home and a conversation with a president, though the specific president was not identified. Prosecutors are pursuing access to Woods's prescription records, which his attorneys argue are private. Woods has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges, which stem from an incident where his vehicle struck a trailer and overturned. He has a history of car incidents and has been focusing on his health, recently requesting to travel abroad for treatment. Woods is scheduled to return to court next month.
