'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.

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.

He already was long off the tee when he hit the tour as a beanpole

He drives aren’t as long NOW so I guess the roids aren’t working
