Trey Mullinax has been suspended for six months after testing positive for a substance prohibited under the PGA Tour’s anti-doping policy, the tour said on July 29.
Mullinax, who is eligible to return on Jan 16, 2027, cooperated with the tour’s process and accepted the penalty, the PGA Tour said.
The 34-year-old American said he had used medication to treat a condition first diagnosed during college but had not sought approval under the tour’s anti-doping rules.
“I take full responsibility for what happened,” Mullinax said in a statement, adding that he had never used a substance with the intention of gaining a competitive advantage.
Mullinax, who missed the cut in both of his PGA Tour starts in 2026, claimed his lone tour victory at the 2022 Barbasol Championship at Keene Trace Golf Club in Kentucky. REUTERS
