Tiger to be DQ'd?

[SaintHacker]

If that was me or you we would be back on the plane home already.
Never been a big Tiger fan but I was warming to him over the last few weeks. That, and any respect I had for him, has now gone. If he wins it will be the biggest travesty in the history of the game.

I missed all this while on the course this afternoon so haven't read the gazillion posts since i left. I agree the committee bottled it. Worst thing though is once someone explained the rule to him tiger must know that he got it wrong (didn't cheat, just a mistake) so he should have withdrawn instead of continuing on a technicality.

Omg.... I agree with Faldo!

Have you actually read any of the thread or the comments from the tournament committee?

Are you suggesting that any player from Tiger in the Masters to me in a club tournament should withdraw because he makes a mistake and breaches a rule?

 

[North Mimms]

The fans /patrons want to see Tiger.

So leave in him, let him play, then on 18th tee on Sunday, he puts his ball back in his pocket, and says "I'm out"

THAT would be classy!

No, whats to read? The guy has virtually got away with cheating, end of.

If you've signed your card, yes. I've done it and called it on myself.

We need to be clear mate, he didn't cheat or knowingly break the rules. Tiger is at fault for accepting the committee decision but they are the biggest culprits for not DQing him.

So your trying to tell me the worlds best golfer doesn't know, or fully understand, one of the basic rules of the game? No, sorry, believe what you want but I don't buy it

The most scrutinised player in the game would be an idiot to deliberately try and cheat, especially in a major. He just got mixed up and made a mistake.

And he's making another one by playing today.

 

[Dodger]

I am sick of this love in for him.

he is going to do nothing this week,leave him to shoot his even par and lie 8 back and get some players who are actually doing something on the TV.

Good point, level par around Augusta is buttons.

Once you have signed your card for an incorrect score, there is no other thing to do.
The guy is now embarrassing himself and the tournament.

He made a mistake but should still pay the penalty and be out.

 

[In_The_Rough]

If he had been in the middle of the pack with no chance of winning Woods probably would have DQ'd himself. With him being near the top of the leaderboard that was never going to happen

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

100% DQ - 1000's on the course saw it live; the divot marks on the fairway and his own words were the admission. Don't like Faldo that much but he was bang on when interviewed in the Butler Cabin about it. Sycophantic Tiger love in.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Absolutely!

 

[JustOne]

he is going to do nothing this week (now that hitting the pin has cost him 4 shots),leave him to shoot his even par and lie 8 back and get some players who are actually doing something on the TV.

Fixed that for you Dodger.

Frankly I'm surprised that you bother watching it at all. There must be something that you can watch that will make you less miserable - isn't Taggart on?
