"@plarrazabal: Looking at the desition they made with Tiger, can they take off Guans penalty shot out of his score card? Why not? Hehehe.. Golf is not fair"

And GMac:
"2 shot penalty for TW for wrong drop. New rule applied for trial by tv. Instead of retrospective DQ, player receives a penalty. Decent rule."

Perhaps this is the rule that someone mentioned earlier in the thread that was added following a similar(ish) event last year?

That rule supposes that the player couldn't have known an infringement occurred - like Paddy and the moving ball, he didn't see it move.
This is completely different - he SHOULD have known he was dropping incorrectly.

It isn't trial by TV though.
By Tiger's own description of the shot he played it was an infringement of the rules, irrelevant if it was knowingly or not.
Tiger signed for an incorrect score.
Tiger should be DQ'd.

New rule of tournament golf introduced last year - very dubious that it applies here but your statement not fully true in pro tournaments since that rule was introduced

The stink from this decision is going to linger for a long time.

The new rule s nothing to do with what Tiger did.
He got the rule wrong.
There is no ambiguity.
Augusta should be ashamed :angry:

I'm going to buck the trend of everyone that's appalled he wasn't DQ'd and come out and say in glad it was a retrospect penalty and not a DQ. Common sense for once prevailing over archaic and pointless rule as IMO what he did gained no advantage.
Queue people saying I'm a tiger lover and have no respect or idea about the rules of golf. When in fact I'm not his biggest fan and know the rule he has supposedly breached. I simply don't agree with it and if it was anyone I'd feel the same.

I agree 100%
he gained sod all advantage and still had to hit the shot, if anything he was dealt a kick in the nutz by hitting the flag. There are certain aspects and attitudes in golf that really put me off it as a sport.

Of course it gained an advantage. If it didn't he would've played from the exact same position.
To the average hacker moving back a few yards makes little difference but Tiger works his chipping on inches. Two yards makes a big difference!

if he worked on inches he would have a tap in every time, even the pro's arent that accurate all the time.
So where does this ruling fit in then;
6-6
• d. Wrong Score for Hole
The competitor is responsible for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole on his score card. If he returns a score for any hole lower than actually taken, he is disqualified. If he returns a score for any hole higher than actually taken, the score as returned stands
Tiger has signed he's score card for a lower score on a hole,he should have known the rules simple as that.
Its a DQ but its not a DQ cos its Tiger Woods.If he goes on to win which is possible that would ridiculous as theres plenty of guys in that field who play fairly......
