The penalty still cost him the tournament. You do know that they redesigned Augusta National after his first 2 victories there?
Augusta gets refurbished after every Masters. But that was called Tiger Proofing.
?? he should have been DQ’d, instead he was assessed a 2 stroke penalty, plus the stroke penalty on the water ball is 3 strokes in penalties...he lost by 4. or am I missing something ?
Tiger proofed in 2002 - Tiger still wins the 2002 & 2005 Masters
Tiger proofed in 2006 finally worked. No Tiger win.
Arnold raised purses by thousands, Tiger raised purses by hundreds of thousands.
Did you know Arnold Palmer was the genesis of the single ball rule because of what he did in an Augusta practice round ?
Sam Snead won the first Green jacket ?
Ben Hogan started the Champions Dinner ?
Nothing to do with anything but....
Sam Snead was the cause of croquet putting being outlawed on the green plus the putter now had to have a shaft angle other 90 degrees.
The golfers who are in Tiger’s 4-some, will have to contend with the hoard and the roar, which they haven’t seen or heard in years.
Should be interesting to watch, cause we’ll be back to all Tiger all the time.
