Golfers are speaking up about cannabis, this according to a recent report by the New York Times.

According to the publication, five-time PGA Tour winner Billy Horschel has been vocal about CBD and says it has helped him physically “return to top form” by mitigating inflammation and improving sleep.

Horschel recently invested in Beam, a CBD company, which lists the PGA golf star as a member of the #BeamTeam on its Instagram page. He’s not alone — the trend appears to be catching on, according to the NYT — PGA favorites Bubba Watson and Scott McCarron are also sponsors of CBD brands.

Though CBD was removed from the banned substances list for golfers back in 2018, the tour is still conservative on the matter. According to the publication, the PGA has been clear golfers that use CBD risk failed drug tests if products contains THC.

Robert Garrigus and Matt Every — two other pro golfers — received three months suspensions after testing positive for THC, according to the outlet.

On the matter, Garrigus told the New York Times:

“The fact that it is socially unacceptable for cannabis and CBD right now blows my mind..it’s OK to take OxyContin and black out and run into a bunch of people, but you can’t take CBD and THC without someone looking at you funny. It makes no sense.”
