Now that I understand exactly what he did, I think he should be disqualified. Like the blogger says, he proceeded as if the ball crossed the hazard right in front of him, when it didn't.

Do you really think that they are going to disqualify the so-called ‘king’ of golf?
Not in this lifetime! They may award him a couple of strokes. That I would believe.
To: FlJoePa
Did he gain an advantage from this?

so-called king of golf? Why the cynicism? Has Tiger done something to offend you? He may not be the "king" of golf, but surly the "prince". And if his career stays on course, he will eventually be the "king" of golf.

Yes. He even spoke about it on camera. About getting a few yards behind his original location.
If he wanted to take that option (keeping entry point between him and the hole), he’d be in the woods to his left - because the ricochet sent the ball to 8 O’Clock, not 6 O’Clock where he hit it from.
The more I think about this, there isn’t any way out. He’s gotta be DQ’d.

I am not a Tiger fan, BUT I will say that I do not believe he would purposely cheat his competitors, because that is what breaking the rules in a torunament means, cheating the fellow competitors. ... And don’t anyone bother bringing up his cheating on his wife. I won’t discuss that vulgarity.

No he is just an individual whose entire carefully constructed public persona has been shown to be completely fraudulent. He is a talented technician and a moral reprobate whose continued presence in professional golfing is mark of shame on the sport. While he did not, so far as we know, violate any laws as did the wretched Pete Rose his character is even more debased than that fatted Pharaoh.
To: MHGinTN
Competitors get DQ’d all the time. It doesn’t mean they’re cheaters. Just means they effed up.

And your favorite football, basketball, baseball player lived a perfect life? I don’t care about his personal life, just his athletic ability. If we could get rid of all athletes that live less then Christian lives ... sports would cease to exist.

Woods lack of integrity and character are the heart of the matter.

I’m not a Tiger fan either. But he brings attention to the sport.

TV viewers have had players DQ’d before. Contact Masters Tournament officials and register a complaint.

It’s been all over twitter for hours. They know what he did. He took a bad drop and signed a bad scorecard. It’s pretty simple.

Perhaps we shall see. If he bows out or takes a two stroke addition to his score, would that tend to persuade you that he holds the game in high regard?

Unfortunately the cult of celebrity which is one of the really bad inventions of the 20th century has endowed these stick and ball men or pigskin throwers or whatever with a significance that goes beyond the sensible level of, say watching pool hustlers knock the numbered balls around. Through a propaganda machine Dr G would envy such these people are held up as iconic figures to the nation. I don't like it, I hate all of this organized phony lying ballyho that the ad men and the booster boys have polluted our society with. But it is a plague , like television, that can't be made to go away. So these entertainers, and that is what they are, should at least be held to a public standard commensurate with their grossly inflated images. When their feet of clay are revealed, especially when the revelation is as florid as it was for Mr. Wood the penalty should be being hurled from the tinsel Olympus and sent down to the Hades of the everyday banality. I hate celebrities but they should be made to toe the line in public and if not lose their overblown status.

There is a lot of petty Tiger hate on FR. Following his martial infidelity and subsequent troubles, leading to the attrition of hs game (and his fall in golf rankings) there were a good number of surprisingly happy FReepers. I am personally not a fan of Tiger, but I know he is one of golf’s greatest exponents. Moreover, his failings as a husband have nothing to do with my appreciation of golf and his accomplishments in the sport. I also have to admit being very happy with his new wind in the game, and rise to the top AGAIN.

Your post is the succinct point that the Green Jackets can’t ignore and seemed clear in the late CBS Master’s wrap-up show with Jim Nance and David Feherty. They did everything but say he would be DQ in the morning. The smart play for Tiger would be to get in front of it and DQ himself. His public perception would go up several notches, IMO.

If he’s found in violation of rule 26 (which I believe he was), he signed an incorrect scorecard. That means he would be disqualified. There’s no penalty shots at this point.
