Michael Kim shoots 59 in 3M Open, talks about making PGA Tour history
Michael Kim birdied his last four holes in the 3M Open’s second round to shoot the 16th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history.
Professional golfer Trey Mullinax has been suspended for violating the PGA Tour’s anti-doping policy after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Mullinax, 34, is suspended for six months and eligible to return on Jan. 16, 2027, the PGA Tour said in a statement on Wednesday, July 29. It added that Mullinax “has cooperated fully with the Tour throughout the process and accepted his suspension.”
Mullinax accepted responsibility for his actions in a statement provided by the PGA Tour, explaining that he “recently used a medication to treat a condition I was originally diagnosed with in college without seeking approval under the Tour’s Anti-Doping Policy.”
“At the end of the day, it is my responsibility to understand and follow the PGA Tour’s Anti-Doping Policy and all of its rules and regulations. I failed to do that, and that is on me,” Mullinax said, adding,. “My lack of knowledge is not an excuse. It was my responsibility to know the rules before taking any medication and I failed to do so. I want to be absolutely clear: I have never taken any substance with the intention of gaining a competitive advantage. Anyone who knows me knows how much I respect this game and the values it represents.
“I accept the consequences of my actions and will use this experience as a lesson. Golf has given me so much, and I never want one mistake to define the respect I have for the game or for the people who support me. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and I look forward to competing again in 2027.”
Mullinax has one career PGA Tour win at the 2022 Barbasol Championship and missed the cut in both PGA Tour events he appeared in this season. The PGA Tour’s anti-doping policy began in 2008, and at least five golfers have been suspended under it since then.
