bingo.... we have a winner in the REAL meltdown of the Tiger. It's a lot easier to hit a 7 iron 180 than a 5 iron. It's also nice to get a little help with your "recovery", which is what steroids really provide.
Funny how he had to go to Canada to find an orthopedic surgeon and rehabilitative specialist that just happens to be the favorite destination for many NFL players as well.
It was NOT against the PGA tour's regulations to use performance enhancing drugs till recently.
Also I think with steroid he was fresh on Sunday while other guys were a little tired because you bounce back faster. Also the roid forearms increased control of the shots.
He is not even that long anymore and I think it is like Giambi was a home run hitter then off the juice he tried to be a base hit hitter.
Tiger is not that long now. 21 yr old McIlroy is longer and he is only about 5’9 1/2” and is fairly slight. He uses tempo and club head speed. Te bombers like Watson, DJ, Quiros and even Phil are a lot longer now too.
