Yahoo Sports sports

Key Points:

  • The PGA Tour has suspended golfer Trey Mullinax for six months after he tested positive for a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, though the specific substance and timing of the test were not disclosed.
  • Mullinax accepted responsibility for the violation, stating he took medication for a condition diagnosed in college and did not intend to gain a competitive advantage.
  • The suspension will last until January 16, 2027, impacting Mullinax's ability to compete and earn status for the upcoming PGA Tour season, especially as he is currently ranked No. 544 in the world and No. 150 in the FedExCup Fall standings.
  • Mullinax has one PGA Tour win from the 2022 Barbasol Championship but has struggled recently, missing the cut in both of his two starts this season.
  • His Major Medical Extension expired last year, meaning the suspension will further hinder his chances to regain full playing privileges on the Tour.
