Introduction

A judge in Florida says Tiger Woods must give his medicine records to the police. This is because of a car accident in March 2026.

Main Body

Tiger Woods had a car accident on March 27. His car hit a truck and turned over. He drove too fast. The police found two pills on him. He did not have alcohol in his body, but he looked sick. Now, he has three legal problems. The police want to see his medicine records from January to March. His lawyer said no because of privacy. But the judge said yes. Only the lawyers and experts can see these papers. The public cannot see them. Tiger Woods is now in Switzerland. He is at a special hospital. He needs help from doctors there. Because of this, he cannot play in his golf games.

Conclusion

Mr. Woods says he did nothing wrong. He is waiting for a trial and getting medical help.

🕒 Time Words: 'From... To...'

When we talk about a period of time, we use this pair:

FROM [Start Date/Time] TO [End Date/Time]

Example:

  • "Medicine records from January to March."

This tells us the exact window of time the police are looking at. It is much simpler than saying "between January and March."
