I think there are plenty of guys on the PGA Tour that are using stuff to bulk up. Much like in baseball, the stronger you are the further you're going to be able to hit the ball.
When Tiger Woods first came on Tour, he was about 20 years old and he weighed around 160-165 pounds. I think now he weighs around 185-190 pounds. Tom Pernice has been on the Tour for years. He was always in great shape. He was always 5'10 and 150 pounds. Now all of a sudden he is 5'10 and 170 pounds and he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. I know he works out really hard but I still don't know how it is possible to gain 20 pounds of muscle if you aren't using some type of supplement.
For a short period of time I had a personal trainer who worked with professional athletes. I asked him how much weight I would gain if I started working out really hard every day. He told me I'd probably gain 3-4 pounds.
Much like in baseball, I've seen golfers that have bulked up in a way that seems almost impossible without taking some type of supplement.
Here is another article about this doctor that Tiger has been treated by. This doctor is strongly suspected of providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
