The 30-year-old American, whose most recent victory on tour
was at last year's Farmers Insurance Open, turned himself in as
soon as he learned of the violation.
"I discovered in February 2015 that I had inadvertently taken a
supplement for the prior two months that was not permitted by
the PGA Tour," Stallings said in a statement released through
the tour.
"I did so on the recommendation of my physician due to chronic
fatigue I had felt over a period of time -- not in any way for
performance enhancement."
Stallings, ranked 154th in the world, is only the third
announced suspension by the tour since it started drug testing
in 2008.
