As you said, knowing the competitive nature of these top athletes, and knowing how many of them have used performance-enhancing drugs, I really don't think it is far-fetched to suspect that Tiger used HGH or something of that nature, especially now that we know he is linked to that doctor from Canada.
It's kind of unfortunate that there is so much cheating in this day and age that we suspect alot of people that may in fact be innocent. I obviously have no idea whether Tiger has used HGH or anything like that. But when you consider his weight gain and you consider that he was using that Canadian doctor, it is hard not to be somewhat suspicious.

He definitely didn't gain 25 pounds in a year - I was just responding to what Antitrust said.
Muscle/strength as it relates to golf is an interesting thing.
Rickie Fowler (who I already can't stand) weighs something like 135 lbs. and averaged 301 yards with the driver (10th on tour) in the few events he played. Flexibility, swing mechanics, and height are just as important if not more important than strength when it comes to hitting it far. The key, obviously, is to find the perfect balance between muscularity and flexibility.
