I agree. Tiger looks big, strong etc,.. on tv but he is not that large at all as I have stood within a few feet of him. Tv in itself makes people look larger than they are. He went from massively oversized cloths to fitted cloths, worked out hard and became fit. He is not this huge hulk that people make him out to be.

I think it will be too damaging to the tour for it to come out if it were true. Huge controversies on wins and stripped titles...they would do everything to avoid that.
