Following his first major incident, the November 2009 car accident, Tiger admitted that he used the drug Ambien.
Prior to 2009 I had always assumed that Tiger's "calm under pressure" was in large part due to his mom's Buddhist influence, including her training him to meditate. But once the Ambien usage was revealed, I question if that too did not also assist Tiger during tournament play.
