I would say his time is done. at least 6 month recovery. Keep designing the courses.. And somewhere
Jim Nantz has tears of sorrow all over his North Carolina t shirt.

He could hit a 9 iron better than he could take one...

Too many years of extreme workouts,like navy seals training, too many years of steroids and HGH to negate the soreness and pain of said workouts, too many swing changes, and most of all, the birthdays. Tiger has been done since he first had the chipping yips.

Gotta be the most sudden collapse of a great athlete not due to injury right? I mean I know he's injured now but first couple years were pretty much mental. Who else is on there? Tyson?

These modern guys torque themselves up way further before the green than 30 years ago. Net, don't expect many to have long careers. Spieth is a torque exception.

Spieth uses more of a body release than just arms. His swing IMO has flaws in it which is why he has been so inconsistent the past year or so. From an injury standpoint, not sure if it hurts or helps him.

Most of these young guys have very violent swings. No doubt many as they age will have issues. Day has had back issues since he was a teenager. He has an incredibly violent swing. He is fully aware of it and knows he has a short window to win as much $ and tournaments as he can.

It'll never be discussed in a relevant way because of all the money being made on tour but there has to be some good dope out on the PGA circuit.... Damn right I think quite a few of them guys are taking stuff!

Doubt there is much of it on tour. If anything, some guys may take some simply for injury recovery purposes, but doubt they stay on it long. You may have a few guys who struggle hitting it far who may take some to see what happens. Steroids are not going to help you putt or chip better and at the tour level that is what mainly separates the guys on the various tours. Anyone who plays good golf knows swinging fast is not because you have big arms, chest, etc. Its about flexibility, being loose, etc. That is why most guys on tour now train to be really fit and not big. See them in person and they may be tall, etc. but they are not huge guys.

Believe Tiger took them because of injuries, trying to get bigger because of his BS Seal training stuff, and mainly because he was/is a major DBag.
