This week's #AskESPNCaddie was made more difficult because we hadn't heard any word from the Tiger camp on whether he was going to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational (update: He's not). I will say, to all the people saying it's always about that guy, that's a YOU problem because everyone else is coming up with great questions.
Use #AskESPNCaddie on Twitter, I answer your questions, you brag to your friends and family!
@ESPNCaddie #AskESPNCaddie Is doping a problem on tour? Suddenly an awful lot of extremely fit players. Possible it's like cycling was?
— B.J. Lisko (@BLiskoREP) March 11, 2015ESPN.com senior golf analyst Michael Collins: Not even close! Tiger definitely changed the workout aspect of golf for the masses, but I don't see doping as an issue. I do think there's a better way to do the testing, although I want that change to be because it would show just how clean the sport is, not that it's dirty.
@ESPNCaddie Will Rory be fined or suspended by either @PGATOUR or @Nike? Also, will @Nike replace his club for free? #AskESPNCaddie
— Tej Seth (@Tejseth41) March 6, 2015Collins: Rory will definitely get fined for the club toss. I couldn't see it being more than $500, though the tour can go upwards of $5,000. We'll never know, because the tour doesn't announce that stuff ... which stinks to high heaven. Rory's fine I believe will be minimal also because of his reaction to the club toss in the media. When you're apologetic you get a light smack on the wrist; that would make sense.
@ESPNCaddie Is it hypocritical for DJ to say his life is "nobody's business" while sending out girlfriend and baby pictures? #AskEspnCaddie
— John K. (@UWedge) March 11, 2015Collins: Not at all. We all choose how much we allow strangers into our personal lives, don't we? Dustin Johnson or Paulina showing pictures of themselves and the baby on social media is a choice they make. What would be hypocritical would be them posting pictures of themselves and the baby and then complaining about their pictures being posted by other sites. Big difference.
