Tiger Woods was reported to have been under the influence of several prescription medications and THC in the 2017 DUI case: Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and marijuana’s active ingredient, THC. His breath test showed no alcohol, so the impairment was associated with drugs rather than drinking.

What was found

  • Vicodin, a painkiller.
  • Dilaudid, a stronger painkiller.
  • Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication.
  • Ambien, a sleep medication.
  • THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Context

Woods later said he had been trying to manage back pain and sleep issues on his own, and called it a mistake to do so without medical help. Reports at the time also noted he had no alcohol in his system.

Current note

Recent coverage around another arrest describes investigators suspecting medication or drugs, but no definitive toxicology result has been reported there because he declined a urine test.
