Tiger Woods is feeling the heat as the golfer faces the "possibility" of jail time in his ongoing DUI case.

Tiger Woods Faces 'Possibility' of Jail Time

Tiger Woods was arrested and charged with a DUI on March 27.
Woods was arrested and charged with a DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after allegedly flipping his Land Rover while trying to avoid "a pickup truck pulling a pressure cleaner trailer."
The athlete claimed he was distracted by his phone and changing the radio station, not realizing a vehicle had moved into his lane, and said he wasn't able to react in time.
Tiger Woods' Prescription Drug Records Were Subpoenaed

Tiger Woods was allegedly caught with two hydrocodone pills and a prescription painkiller following his arrest.
Following the crash, authorities said they found two hydrocodone pills and a prescription painkiller in his pants pocket.
Woods' legal team suffered a setback in court last month after objecting to the potential subpoena of his prescription drug records, per TC Palm. Both sides eventually agreed to a protective order, which restricted access to the documents in the interest of privacy.

"He says it’s an outrageous violation of his privacy as well as a clear indicator that the authorities will stop at nothing to throw the book at him."

Tiger Woods Is Filled With 'Anxiety'

The 'possibility' of jail time is 'hanging over' Tiger Woods like a 'dark cloud.'
"There’s still the remote possibility of jail time, which is hanging over him like a dark cloud 24/7 even though it’s highly unlikely to happen," the source concluded. "Tiger feels like he’s serving his dues right now but he’s not being allowed to move on because he’s being punished by the system. He’s terrified of the legal battle that awaits him. It’s causing a ton of anxiety."
Following his arrest, the 5-time Masters Tournament Champion reportedly jetted off to an "exclusive and ultra-expensive" rehab facility on April 3 in Zurich, Switzerland.
