Singh goes after PGA Tour in new lawsuit
Last week, the PGA Tour dropped its investigation into Vijay Singh’s use of Deer Antler Spray. This week, it’s Singh’s turn to investigate the Tour.
According to the USA Today, Singh filed a suit Wednesday in the Supreme Court of the State of New York charging the Tour with exposing Singh “to public humiliation and ridicule for months.” According to the lawsuit, the Tour “failed competently and responsibly to administer its own Anti-Doping Program . . . As a direct and proximate result of the PGA Tour’s actions, Singh has been humiliated, ashamed, ridiculed, scorned and emotionally distraught.”
When Singh, 50, initially told Sports Illustrated in February that he had used deer antler spray — which contains the performance-enhancing drug IGF-1 — the Tour levied sanctions against Singh. He appealed those sanctions and last week, PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem ruled that the sanctions against Singh would be withdrawn. Deer Antler spray has also been removed from the Tour’s list of banned substances.

Part of the reason given by Finchem was that the World Anti-Doping Agency no longer considered the admission of using deer antler spray to be enough evidence. A positive test for IGF-1 was needed which had not happened in Singh’s case.
The USA Today cites the suit as seeking an “amount to be determined at trial, punitive damages and attorney’s fee, and such other relief as the Court finds proper.” It also reports that the sanctions against Singh would have included a 90-day suspension.
A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

does anybody know how many times Tiger was tested? none, enough said. now days do we really care? obviously, not. so if you want to criticize vj, then why not everybody that has been in the top part of sports in the last fifteen-twenty years. they competed at that level and got paid millions of dollars to be there. do you think that you would be different whenever you have to be at the top all of the time? look into yourself before you answer that because that is what that world is all about. some people could do it and some not. so go and unanchor your putter and understand that you have untouchable people running your game that are also out of touch with reality of the sport and today’s world. if you want to blame somebody, blame yourself for wanting so much from a human that puts his/her pants on every morning just like you do and has to deal with all of the life stuff that you do. god love all of you for playing the game and continuing to play it.

Does it seem like Finchem & co were sitting around talking, and decided that they would make some stuff up to F VJ Singh??? I’d be ticked-off too.

The golf community needs to take off its naive glasses and simply look to the Roger Clemens model. This Vijay suit is a warning shot across the bow for anyone who might want to look into this issue further. It says that Vijay has been doping with HGH, masking with Deer Antler Spray, and now telling everyone if you investigate this in any way VJ and his lawyers will sue you. Golf needs to learn from baseball, track, and cycling that these guys have means, money, and motive to take PEDs. And if the tour is going to continue with its spineless drug policy, this will escalate.
Golf needs to start asking how can a guy be so successful at an age when no one else is? A guy that is better in his 40s than his 20s or 30s? He was getting better at an age when everyone else on the planet is seeing their games deteriorate. And how can VJ practice with the volume that he does, at his age and no one else does? He is either a super human athlete, or he is getting pharmaceutical assistance.
It’s right in front of our eyes, golf just needs to see it.

Was the Deer antler stuff or a product there of 0n the band list? Yes!
Nuff said!
Biting the hand that feeds you is not good. I believe they sign an agreement they won’t sue the PGA no matter the reason.

Well the arrogant Mr. Finchem since he’s in charge of the tour had this coming. They had the gall to place his winnings into an escrow account while they made a decision on this matter. Then the PGA Tour announces he has not taken any band substance and he will not face any penalties. Wow I guess telling the world you took a band substance and then saying it is not illegal has caused no harm to Vijay. Many people will consider him a cheat without knowing the real truth. Good luck Mr. Finchem as I am sure this will be settled before going to court. This is just my opinion.

The tour handled this terribly, but bottom line Singh is a POS.

Vijay is right on this one. PGA Tour should have “competently and responsibly” “administered its own Anti-Doping Program” and suspended him right from the beginning.

This will undoubtedly increase his popularity (sarcasm added), it’s a pretty ungrateful act from a professional who has reaped many rewards from the benefits associated with being a PGA tour player.
That said Finchem and the PGA Association have been too wishy washy on several matters and now it is most likely going to cause them needless litigation expense.
