There are 2 distinct issues here related to DQ:
1: is knowingly violating the rules, which Nick Faldo and others think he did.
2: signing an incorrect scorecard.

As to 1, this could be valid.

But as to item 2, if you think he should be DQ’d for that, then you are agreeing that you should go to jail for filing a bad tax return, EVEN if you got your ruling from an IRS agent ahead of time. Think about the analogy. He though the ruling was that his drop was okay when he signed the card. I am amazed that so called conservatives would automatically roll to the bureaucratic side on this one.

Well stated.

"I was unaware at that time I had violated any rules. I didn't know I had taken an incorrect drop prior to signing my scorecard," Woods tweeted.

Compare Tigers response with this teenagers:

"I knew right away I couldn't live with myself if I kept this medal, so it was pretty instantaneous," Nash said

“He though the ruling was that his drop was okay when he signed the card.”

No, he did not know about the ruling when he signed his card.
