2013 Masters, should Tiger be Disqualified?

THIS! Jesus, what makes it so hard to understand for people?

You can't tell a player at the end of his round before he signs his card that he is in the clear, THEN come back the next morning before he tees off and tell him he is DQed. That's ludicrous.

They told him this? So they are supposed to, before he signs his card, discuss his round with him and any player for that matter before they sign their card? The problem is, they didn't tell him until after he signed his card. In fact, had he not given that interview, he probably wouldn't have been penalized because it's Tiger Woods.

Exactly right, but Tiger can't be chastised for that.

he's gonna be scrutinized for anything he does. Golf rules used to be black and white... now there are many shades of gray to suit certain popular players and keep tv ratings up.

Rory is -3... cmon Rory! BtW his tennis playing girlfriend is a hot POA... sorry thread derailed:

now that is hilarity at its finest.

If he never gave that interview he never would have been penalized.

yep, I agree... the rules committee were caught with their pants down.

when I was watching him play live, I thought when he made that drop and it bounced forward towards the hole that he needed to re-drop. The commentator was caught up by saying it was a red hazard vs a yellow hazard, a five option drop instead of a three option drop. I think he knew at that point that Tiger had messed up (going back two yards) but failed to say anything. David Feherty... should have said something.

guys I'm rooting for... Rory, Snedeker (best player who hasn't won a major), Kuchar (smiley bastard), Cabrera (he's won the Masters and US Open, doesn't get any recognition), Couples and Langer (how can you not root for the 50 plus year olds) and KJ Choi (won of the most gracious golf players I've ever seen in person, just a really good guy).

The group he was playing with was put on the clock. Once that happens, you need to pickup your play. He then was warned again directly for slow play and if he took too long a third time that he would get a stroke penalty. So he was warned twice. BTW, were you watching him play the whole round? How in the name of zeus' ******* would you know if he was taking too long or not?

DirecTV master's mosaic. :tongue2:

If they didn't DQ Woods he is under no obligation to WD. He dropped a ball within a club length of his previous shot no closer to the hole. His comments are irrelevant.

I'm not sure why they have rules in golf.

BTW, this morning I was unaware that the committee "ruled" before he signed his card in his favor. And only after did they consider the penalty. Which IMO makes them look even more incompetent. I didn't expect Tiger to DQ himself. He isn't winning tomorrow though. Sorry. Cabrera or Snedeker...

If he wins this tournament despite an unlucky bounce that cost him 4 strokes, it would be one of the greatest achievements in golf history.

CBS should have a Tiger Woods channel that shows just him. That way the other fans that want to watch the actual tournament can enjoy it.

And the people who HATE him can sit back and enjoy guys like Jason Day play golf.

Works both ways.

I don't hate him. I hate that the TV coverage takes away from other players.

I've watched 80% of the Masters and I don't see this at all. He shoots, then they goto someone else.

Its not every tournament all the time. yesterday they showed every shot practically up to the 11th approach shot. Then they didnt show another until he birdied 13. When he is leading they will follow him if he goes to the bathroom. I get that. But if he is not in contention they shouldnt show him at all. Keep an eye on this today. Watch how much time they spend on his preshot routine and highlights vs other players.

This. They only play every shot of the guys in the top of the leader board. I watched all of the coverage yesterday and found myself getting pissed because they didn't show enough Tiger. It seems like if he isn't moving up or down the leader board then they don't show much of him.
