PGA Tour suspends Trey Mullinax for six months after doping breach

The PGA Tour announced a six-month suspension for Trey Mullinax after he tested positive for a prohibited performance-enhancing substance.

The PGA Tour confirmed that Trey Mullinax has received a six-month ban after a World Anti-Doping Agency-listed substance was found in his system. The 34-year-old will be eligible to compete again on Jan. 16, 2027. Mullinax explained that he took medication for a college-diagnosed condition without securing the Tour’s clearance and emphasized that he never intended to enhance his performance.

He accepted the sanction, calling it a learning experience, and reiterated his respect for the sport. This marks his second season with three missed cuts on the PGA and Korn Ferry Tours. Mullinax joins a limited group of players, including Doug Barron, Scott Stallings, Bhavik Patel and Brad Fritsch, who have faced disciplinary action for doping violations.

Why it matters

The suspension highlights the PGA Tour’s strict anti-doping enforcement and its impact on player careers.
