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.

Did he gain an advantage from this?

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

Did the officials ignored a violation?

Tigerhate. Gotta love it.

He’ll DQ himself right around the same time Nobama resigns for his birth certification infraction.

Get ready to see Tiger in green on Sunday.

I think most people watch golf for the same reason I do...they enjoy the sport and enjoy watching someone play well. The personal lives of the players are not part of the game and properly so.

But in any event it still is just a game.

People on FR have evey right to call out Woods as a scumbag....cause that’s what he is. It’s reality. No one is making any thing up about him. My gripe with Woods is simple: I believe he was on PEDS. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard golf announcers say Woods is the only golfer in history to be able to lift the ball out of the ruff like he does.

Wood’s doctor was caught with PEDS. Woods was blown up like a linebacker. Phil Mickelson hinted at Woods PED use a few years ago when he joked that he was now hitting the ball 20 yards longer than Woods....lol, and look at Phil’s body.

People say PEDS will not help golfers....that’s bull. Woods drove the ball like no one else & he was able to hit out of the sand & ruff in an unatural way that had never been seen in golf before.

There have been many instances where players have called penalties on themselves that no one else had seen, or DQ'ed themselves for rules infractions only they had knowledge of breaking.

If Tiger Woods cared for the game more than himself, he would have DQ'ed himself before the sun went down on Augusta National.

With this latest act of blatant selfishness, he has put the integrity of the game of golf, the integrity of the rules officials, the integrity of Augusta National and the integrity of the entire field of golfers in jeopardy.

He should change his name to Leopard Woods. Same spots, different day.

I don't think you really do. The disqualification would be the result of signing an incorrect score card.....

Before Woods finished his round and prior to the signing, the officials reviewed the tape and determined that no infraction occured, and they told him that. Subsequently Woods signed his card without the two stroke penalty.

It wasn't until 10:00 p.m. last night that another viewer had called Augusta and told the officials about the post round interview where Woods explained his drop. The officials then got together again this morning to discuss it with Woods where they informed him that they were assessing the two stroke penalty which would have happened if they had made the correct decision yesterday afternoon.

Waiving the DQ due to signing an incorrect scorecard was the proper thing for the officials to do .
