Tiger to be DQ'd?

[Kellfire]

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

Even though, as per the rules, he has no need to be?

 

[Dodger]

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?

I am unaware of what part of my statement is miserable,simply telling it how it is.

And for your info I have never enjoyed said programme.

Is anyone bar the man who should not even be playing actually taking part in this Major?

It appears not.

100% DQ

The committee ruled, in play, that he had no case to answer.

Your stance is null and void due to that fact.

Apparently the committee discussed his drop BEFORE his round was completed and they thought it was fine and decided that no penalty should be given. Then only AFTER the round and after he'd signed his scorecard did they realise that he's dropped behind his original spot. So they decided to give him the 2 stroke penalty instead of disqualification. This seems fair to me, I don't think Tiger did it on purpose thinking he could get away with no one seeing it.

Tough - I do not doubt he got muddled and didn't realise that he'd got it wrong - but he got it wrong. I've been DQd for something I didn't realise I'd done wrong - think it was a card technicality. Does make any difference. DQd the minute he signed his card. When confronted by the officials HE could have told them that they were wrong - they were OBVIOUSLY wrong. As it happens I struggle to believe the officials got it wrong. Even I knew as soon as I saw it it was wrong due to a recent rules discussion we have had on here - the one playing from in a water hazard and ball hitting bank in front of player and going back over shoulder into water. Colin L et al were quite clear on the ruling and it was obvious to any watcher that the ball went back into the hazard on a very different line to that which it first crossed the front edge. DQ. He should withdraw on completion after his 3rd round.

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.

Is he embarrassing himself! Nope he still has a chance to win and is doing so having been given a ruling by the powers that be.

Certainly not embarrassing the event either.

Mind you all the Nicklaus fanboys have ammo if Tiger were to win here and go on to get more than 18, everyone can run around saying its not true because the 2013 Masters shouldn't count.


The decision was made by the officials it's times to move on watch the golf and stop being bitter surely.

They are now! :whoo:

Go Westwood!!!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

they didn't have to use anytv evidence HE admitted what he had done in a press conference after the round,they were just using the tv ploy to cover up their decision of a 2 shot penalty as this is the only time this rule can be used,everyone knows what he said and thus he should by the rules of golf be automatically DQ'D.

Correct - in this instance TV was irrelevant. Many people saw him break a rule - and he would have absolutely known that when reviewing the situation this morning. He could easily have said - no ANGC you are wrong - I broke the rules - you must disqualify me.

Need this framing....................:thup:

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The guy's a beast. Doesn't faze him one bit.

Well it bl**dy well should :angry:

 

[gmc40]

Did they discuss it with the player? No.

Was he aware prior to completing his round? No.

Should he 'have reasonably known' of the rules infraction? Yes.(therefore 33/7 4.5 should never have applied).

As a result the breach was only identified following his interview and he had already signed for an incorrect scorecard. The only correct outcome should have been disqualification.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

I've been trying to find the Vijay thread with 40+ pages of why he shouldn't of played this week... Any ideas?

 

[triple_bogey]

Well it bl**dy well should :angry:

Calm down dear........you're gonna blow a vein.

 

[Birchy]

The competition needs Tiger so he does what he wants. Absolutely ridiculous beyond belief.

There is no way a low profile player would of got away with this at all. I am totally convinced.

I thought I had logged onto the wrong forum there!!

Saucy.

 

[tsped83]

A lot of soap boxes are out on this thread aren't they? Jesus.

Like it or not, the committee ruled and have kept him in the tournament.

Move on.

 

[Fader]

The more responses and bitterness I read on this thread the more I'm understanding what a broken record in a digital age sounds like!
