Nobody can deny the bigger guy can have an advantage in golf when it comes to distance. I'm shorter than Funk.

Hence the temptation to gain an unfair advantage as Nick Price said.

But is Woods roided up? I seriously doubt it. Heck there are guys that out drive Tiger on average.

No one in the top 20...Wood's entire game is superior to any of the other big hitters....HE can stop a 3 iron at 250 yards..thats how he won the Open...the other big hitters can't do that......and his strength allows him to keep his club face square through the nastiest rough on tour. He can cut shots out of the thickest rough out there.

But if I had a swing like Tiger. heck if I had a swing like Camilio Villegas ( 5' 9", 160 lbs 306 yd average drive) I would be competitive no matter what the size.

Villegas is on the juice too ...sorry to tell you. Roids are not just for the pro wrestler anymore

Here look at this link which is a pound for pound, height for height comparison of big hitters. weight, height, driving distance comparisons The bottom line is , it's all about the swing.

OK, just like in baseball, roids will not supply the technique.

Tiger has one of the best swings I've ever seen a golfer have bar none, not Nicklaus, not Palmer, not Trevino, not Price. That is why he is position to win so much not because he is roided up.

As does Barry Bonds....why does he juice?

I still don't understand your obsession with Tiger...he's simply going to be the greatest golfer in the history of the game.

He's got another 15 years probably to play on the regular PGA tour, I hope we don't have to listen to your no evidence, nonsense braying for that long! Is it possible you just don't like Cablanasians?
