Maybe Tiger's been doin' 'roids and they sent his sex drive through the stratosphere.

'Obviously you are not a golfer'

The only drugs Tiger Woods is using are whatever he's taking to deal with the pain in his knee. Although steroids might help a person swing a driver hard enough to hit a ball 400 yards, they won't help you sink a 40 foot putt or help you with any other golf shots required to play 18 holes and break 100 much less break 70 consistently.

Excellent news.

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we're all mighty grateful for that reassuring statement.......

You assume that Tiger was using to help with his golf game. Maybe he wanted to enhance his performance in other areas.

And he dominated the tour in his early years when he was a beanpole

Maybe after 2002 he figured he needed extra help but I agree with you --Steroids ain't doing diddly for your game especially the short game and putting

Guess again.

What say your short game is already great? And what say a long drive means that your second shot to the green is no longer a two or a three iron but a 9 iron or a pitching wedge on a par 4 and you can get to the green in 2 shots on a par 5? It means that par 5's are now regulation birdies and possible eagles.

When you're firing in your second shot with a pitching wedge, your chances of stopping it dead, right by the hole rise logarithmically.

You think that's inconsequential to a PGA Tour player?

Length is not everything on today's PGA Tour but it's almost everything.

That begs the question though: why then would Tiger spend so much time and energy to get so much bigger and stronger if there really isn't much benefit? A transformation like what he has gone through, where he is almost unrecognizable from the way he looked at 25, requires a huge amount of dedication (working out 3 or 4x a week, eating the right foods at the right time, taking protein powders, etc.) unless you take some shortcuts.
