Never? You haven't been paying attention.

1. 2,000 pound loose impediment in Phoenix.

2. Stevie Williams steps on his ball at the PGA, claims it was a fan, TW gets a drop from an embedded lie and makes the cut on the number.

3. Hits a ball into the crowd and high grass in Charlotte that no one can find, claims a fan picked it up (which NO ONE saw) gets a free drop and avoids penalty.

I don't give a shirt who he bangs.

You can say all those situations were correct, i guess. But they were certainly in question. I absolutely believe Stevie lied about the ball stepping thing. To say no one has ever questioned his on course ethics is false.

1 - well within the rules. Actually pretty smart to think about trying it.
2 - conspiracy theory based on your biased opinion and no facts
3- conspiracy theory based on your opinion with no facts

Careful, you might cut your tongue on Tiger's spikes.

So wanting something that resembles proof makes me a ball licker?
What the noob is saying is the same thought process of the 9/11 conspiracy theory crazies.
 
Feherty went through Tigers options as he was pondering them. At no point was the option "drop from any point behind the original lie" given as a possibility. Tiger could have gone as far back as he wanted while keeping the point where the ball entered the hazard between his drop and the flag. The ball went in on the left front of the green.

It's okay to defend the decision from the stand point of "it makes the tournament better." However, it's absurd to think that Boo Weekley would be given the same treatment.

Tiger took an incorrect drop. He should be DQ'd. How many people made fun of and blasted Michelle Wie for her improper drop a few years ago? But Tiger gets a pass? C'mon.
 
Be VERY curious how CBS plays this -- and what Faldo says on the Tiffany network (vs. Golf Channel).
 
Tiger could've dropped trow and took a leak on Eisenhower's tree on live tv and he still wouldn't have been DQ'ed.

Should he have been yes. heck yes. The kid would've been DQ'ed.
 
I love the Masters. Its fun watching people like Nantz and Faldo sound like they are being held hostage, gushing about the integrity and hospitality of their hosts.
