I wonder if they also finessed a deal with the PGA to avoid steroid testing. Based on the story Tiger knew the PED (Performance Enhancing Drugs aka steroids) doctor and on PGA driving statistics - Tiger was not long enough in his drives.

He had to juice to get near 300 yards. If his avg was 280 or even 285 yards - he would not be competitive in the PGA.

...Tiger has been real long since he showed up. I recall him hitting 350 plus yard drives in the US Amateur at Brookline, with a steel shaft.

That being said, he does have that puffy, water retained look of someone using PED’s.

Driving statistics aren't comparable today to what they were twelve years ago. Tiger's average today would probably be equivalent to 280 yards twelve years ago. If anything, he's lost yardage since he first came out on tour.
