Stenson: Viagra is the only PED for golfers

Consider Henrik Stenson in the camp of professional golfers who think there’s no drug that can truly enhance their performance — except for maybe one.

Stenson was asked ahead of this week’s Valspar Championship about the PGA Tour’s anti-doping program, particularly after John Daly said on his SiriusXM show earlier in the week that he didn’t feel the Tour’s drug testing was random and expected to be asked for a urine sample after his second round on Friday.

While Stenson wasn’t fazed about the concept of testing, he didn’t seem to find much wisdom in it.

“Long and straight. Viagra might be the only one that’s going to get you anywhere,” Stenson joked. “I don’t know. What else? I don’t know what else you take for performance enhancement in golf.”

The Swede said he tended to get tested earlier in the season, saying he had given samples at Doral during last week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship. He said he was conflicted as to is he felt the Tour’s approach felt random to him.

Overall, however, Stenson understands the need for golf, which is now a part of the Olympic program, to maintain a stringent drug-testing program.

“I think it’s good,” he said. “I don’t spend too much time thinking about it.”
