Golf channel has been all over this.....tiger admitting it after the round doesn't look good for him.

Be interesting if he takes himself out or waits for the rule committee to dq him?

Interesting. Seems like a point where no advantage was gained, so it would suck to get a DQ from that.

There was an advantage, going back a couple yards to a flatter area and a yardage that fit him better. These guys are so good they get yardages to the half yard, to you or me - no advantage but someone like tiger it's BIG

I love golf but there sure are some stupid rules that don't make much sense

There was no advantage. It was 2 yards. Slope was the same

Hopefully he doesn't get the same rules official that dinged Guan yesterday.

With that being said, whether its fair or not, I think he may get different treatment being as he is Tiger Woods. You can bet bet Tim Finchem is in that room right now with the rules guys.

Listen to tigers interview, there is a reason he went back 2 yards.....if no advantage he would dropped it where he was supposed.

I hope he doesn't get dq'ed....have too much $ on the line.

Guan got screwed, glad he made the cut.
I don't think finchem will be involved this is not a PGA event, it's the masters invititaional and they Run the tournament and make all the decisions

Ah, good info thanks. I gotta believe someone has to be in there battling for Tiger. No Tiger for the final 36 has to mean significantly less viewers, right?

Rule is so vague that I think he will be ok

His fate lies in the hands of some old white dudes who don't care about tv ratings. They penalized a 14 yr old on the 17th hole, which almost cost him to miss the cut. This kid might be the biggest thing for tv ratings by opening a billion people's eyes to golf.....Augusta didn't care.

What does that have to do with my post? In the rule it says near. How close is near? Is 2 yards near? It doesn't say and is vague and therefore I doubt they get rid of a Masters champion due to this vague rule
