That coupled with the changes in his physique and you wonder? I would also like to stress the hardest worker part, you sound like a golfer Phil, so you know there are alot of aches and pains associated with golf, you also know the baseball swing and the golfswing are very identical motions. There are some simularities here, anyone who says hitting the ball farther without as much effort doesn't improve you as a golfer are kidding themselves.

Po-lease.
The last time I swung a baseball bat, I was hitting a baseball a few feet above the ground, and it was moving. The last time I swung a golf club, the ball was on the ground, and it was still. The only aches and pains I've had with golf is not being able to get-and-down everytime I find a trap.
Tiger's swing featured a locking motion on his left knee, which deteriorated over time and ultimately led to it basically crumbling. Implying that Tiger Woods took steroids is absolutely ridiculous, and there is simply no basis.
The PGA Tour drug tests too. Their version of "cheating" was implied when certain players clubs were believed to be playing with "super clubs" and so they began testing. Tiger's caddie was one of the first guys to bring in the clubs for testing.
It's a shame our society is so jaded that when someone comes along, someone who is smart, devoted and good at what they do, we immediately cry fowl.
Okay, sorry to bring this thread farther off topic.
