Tiger Woods & Insights About Addiction in Elite Sport

This week on Tough Lies, the conversation goes beyond the leaderboard.

Colin and Richard are joined by Dean Anderson to explore addiction in professional sport, using Tiger Woods as a lens to understand the intersection of chronic injury, pressure, fame, and recovery. From high-profile incidents to the broader realities athletes face, the discussion focuses on what addiction really looks like — and what it takes to overcome it.

They then turn to the PGA Tour, including a return to Doral, **Cameron Young’s response to adversity (MindTRAK Moment), and ongoing questions around Signature Events and the Returning Members Program.

In the broader golf landscape, the guys break down uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf’s future and what shifting leadership could mean for the game.

Plus: **Stewart Cink vs. **Nelly Korda — who’s hotter right now? — and a reflection on how addiction has impacted legends like **George Knudson.

“Because the toughest lies in golf aren’t always on the course.”
