PGA Tour Suspends Mullinax for Six Months over Anti-Doping Violation
Mullinax said he used medication for a college-diagnosed condition and accepted the penalty, the ninth PGA Tour drug suspension since testing began in 2008.
- On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the PGA Tour suspended Trey Mullinax for six months after he tested positive for a substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency, violating the tour's anti-doping policy.
- Mullinax acknowledged he recently used medication to treat a condition first diagnosed in college without seeking approval under the tour's anti-doping rules. "I take full responsibility for what happened," he said.
- Eligible to return on January 16, 2027, the veteran previously won the 2022 Barbasol Championship and has earned nearly $7 million in his career, though he missed the cut in both PGA Tour starts this season.
- This marks a rare disciplinary action for the tour, which has suspended few players since drug testing began in 2008, with Mullinax believed to be the ninth player sanctioned following Byeong Hun An in October 2023.
- The PGA Tour noted that Mullinax cooperated fully throughout the process and accepted his suspension, stating he views this experience as a lesson and remains focused on competing again in 2027.
