Tiger Woods<\/strong> has lost a legal effort to keep his prescription drug records private after a Florida judge ruled that prosecutors may subpoena them regarding his March DUI arrest.<\/p>\n

The decision was issued by Martin County Circuit Court Judge Darren Steele during a brief hearing on Tuesday. Woods <\/strong>did not appear in court, as he is reportedly receiving treatment in Switzerland following the incident.<\/p>\n

The current investigation follows a crash in which deputies said they found pain medication in Woods<\/strong>\u2019 pocket at the scene. The pills were identified as hydrocodone, and officers reported signs of impairment after responding to the overturned SUV.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the vehicle was traveling on a 30mph residential roadway when it clipped a trailer,…<\/p>\n
