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 .
That’s all great, but still paints Tiger as someone who knowingly was going to get away with breaking a rule and apparently had no problem with it.
He knows what he did, and he knew what he had done when they talked to him after his round. It wasn’t until this morning that he claims he unknowingly butchered rule 26 (to an extent that would make an accomplished junior golfer blush) and accepted the penalty.
Since these developments have come out it would obviously be hard to DQ him. My stance has switched to believing he should have just withdrawn.
