The PGA Tour announced on Wednesday that Trey Mullinax has been suspended for 6 months for violating the Tour’s Anti-Doping policy.
Here is their official statement.
The PGA TOUR announced today that Trey Mullinax has violated the PGA TOUR Anti-Doping Policy’s ban on the use of performance-enhancing substances for testing positive for a substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). As a result, he is suspended for six months and eligible to return on January 16, 2027.
Mullinax has cooperated fully with the TOUR throughout the process and accepted his suspension.
Trey Mullinax released a statement of his own as well.
To my fans, I want to address the news regarding my failed anti-doping test and the suspension that followed. I take full responsibility for what happened. 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.
I 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.
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.
As noted Trey will be eligible to return early in the next calendar year.
