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.
That is a good question and I have been wondering about the answer
You don’t see other pros going that route
Maybe he likes looking in the mirror at his bod
BTW Lately his face was looking bloated and he also looked like he was packing it on around the gut
When he said he was going to break Jacks records I told my friends let’s wait and see how his body holds up under the pressure of the PGA type golf swing —I thought his back would go but it was his knee that gave out —And he is lucky they have such great reconstruction methods today

I never said there wasn't any benefit to hitting the ball further. The point I was making is there are no drugs to help you get big and strong without messing up the the more difficult parts of the game, chipping, putting and hitting iron shots from any position between you and the ball that hills and awkward terrain can create. After winning the US Open at Tory Pines and getting his knee operated on for the 2nd time, Tiger had more than 8 months to workout mostly on his upper body since his knee would have been immobilized for several of those months. He's a millionaire and can pay people to do the everyday chores you and I get saddled with. He can also hire the best trainers in the world to make sure he stays dedicated. A few years ago, no one questioned Phil Mickelson when he went from looking like Bryant Gumbel with a big butt to being a poser in a too tight shirt. Is he on steroids? I doubt it! Gary Player has been proving to everyone on tour that taking care of your health and working out helps keep you in the kind of shape you need to be to play professional golf at his age. With all sports medical information out there and money being no object, who else but John Daly wouldn't take advantage of it? This year even John Daly is working out.
