Speculation surrounding the potential use of performance-enhancing drugs by golf legend Tiger Woods has resurfaced once again, reigniting a debate that has lingered for years within the golf community.
During an interview with OutKickβs “Donβt @ Me with Dan Dakich,” former PGA Tour star Mark Lye revisited the rumors, shedding light on the pervasive belief among some in the golfing world. Dakich posed the question, querying whether there was a prevalent sentiment among those familiar with the sport that Woods may have utilized steroids in the past to bolster his performance on the course.
Lyeβs response was unequivocal. “Yes, that is. It is except for the people in Tigerβs corner. βYou better shut up about it.β Nobody ever gone out like that,” Lye remarked candidly. “Nobodyβs ever said that like Iβm saying it right now. Thereβs just no doubt. And I would say about 80 or 90% of the people out there know something ainβt right.”
Although Lye refrained from delving into specific instances, rumors linking Woods to performance-enhancing substances have periodically surfaced over the years.
One notable mention came in the 2014 book “Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseballβs Steroid Era,” which detailed Woodsβ association with controversial Canadian doctor Anthony Galea. Despite this, Woods’ former swing coach, Hank Haney, emphasized to Golf Digest that he never witnessed any behavior indicative of performance-enhancing drug use from Woods.
In a separate incident in July 2015, former PGA Tour player Dan Olsen made headlines by asserting, without concrete evidence, that Woods had been covertly suspended from the organization for failing a drug test. Both Woodsβ agent, Mark Steinberg, and the PGA Tour swiftly refuted Olsenβs claims, with Steinberg categorically dismissing them as “absolutely, unequivocally and completely false.” Olsen later retracted his statement.
Following Lyeβs recent remarks, neither Woodsβ agent nor the PGA Tour responded immediately to requests for comment.
Woodsβ performance at the recent Masters tournament in Augusta did little to quell the ongoing speculation, as he finished 16-over par, marking one of the most lackluster showings of his illustrious career.
