He is paying the price for taking too many steroids earlier in his career before the PGA tested for them.

As much as I have hoped for a Tiger return, I think it will not happen. It's been a very long time since he played a good competitive round. Physical ailments are certainly an initial problem, and perhaps he has difficulty accepting that he cannot return to his original level of performance, and would prefer not to play at all than to take weeks, perhaps months, missing cuts and finishing way down the leaderboard before he even can tell how far back he will be able to come. Golf is not a game that you can be away from for this much time and just jump back in at a high level, regardless of your innate ability and talent. And I think we amateurs sometimes fail to understand the mental pressure of the pro game, which I would think requires some "ramp up time" for a successful return as well.

I think the 9 iron administered by his wife was a career game changer for him.

My take exactly. He was on painkillers then too. May have become dependent on them. He couldn't take the shame of the world seeing all of his escapades too. Golf is so much a mind game.

Finished. Toast. Knows he can't beat the young guns anymore with his lack of game now. He was the main factor with the purses that the PGA now has, but, he's history.

I'd be surprised if she didn't use all of them!

Elin tees off on Tiger, but says she didn't hit him with club - NY Daily News

It does not sound like she actually used any of them.

I think that he was talked into opioids for pain. They are legal and addictive. I don't think it was just steroids.

If his latest arrest is any indication, it sounds like he was taking the whole pharmacy inventory

Default In rehab

Saw that he is in rehab. Also mentioned that he reserved the whole wing to insure his privacy.
