There is a good News. Golf drug testing is undergoing. Tiger Wood, the first ranked golf star, has called to test. It is said this is for keeping golf” clean”. And Tiger’s action can really show fans the future of golf trending.

Commenting after fellow golfer Doug Barron was given a year-long ban after violating rules around drug use, Woods said that while the ban is "unfortunate", the procedures which see golfers tested before taking to the course are in place to ensure that players do not take part in "improper" behaviour.

"The whole idea is to keep our sport clean and that is why we created the policy and it has been executed and unfortunately one player didn't obey the policy," he said.

However, Barron's ban has led some of his fellow players to question the way in which drugs are tested for and which types of drugs fall under the heading of performance enhancing or other types.

Barron has suffered from a number of medical conditions which he is known to take medication for, it has been noted.
