Tiger- 2 stroke penalty for "illegal drop"
Guan- 1 stroke penalty for "slow play"
all other white players- do these things all the damn time.

"After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole,"

:what:


So they basically, retroactively, assessed this penalty because someone on their couch gave them the heads up?!?! Not even a PGA offical?!?

This 'viewer' could have:
Been racist
Had a personal vendetta against TW.
:mindblown:


But they listen to some random guy?
I am pretty sure I won't watch the rest of the tourney- see what happens to the ratings when others do the same...

They're saying if Tiger wins there should be a *

If Tiger wins it's the greatest win of his career.

I don't think he wins though after this bullshyt. I feel bad for all the people that money on Tiger.

Tiger now the co-fav to win at 5-1, I think Rory wins.

having no tiger arguably the best ever not in the field to compete for the green jacket would mean no asterisk but after being assessed a penalty its the opposite really???:heh:

Anybody screaming "racism" about this is a fukking idiot

Tiger broke a rule, and he admitted he broke a rule (although unknowingly to him), and they retroactively penalized him for it

Just because they didn't realize it was an infraction when he did it does not mean he gets absolved of any wrongdoing later. Golf has NEVER had a problem retroactively penalizing, or even disqualifying people. The rules are taken incredibly seriously, and penalizing people after the fact is incredibly common.

Stop being morons and claiming it is a conspiracy or that they are out to get him. He is lucky they didn't disqualify him, because they could have under the rules.

What people should be going crazy about is not the fact that he was penalized, but the fact that hitting the flag pole has ended up costing him as many as 4 strokes. Some of the worst bad luck I have seen on a golf course.

I'm still pulling for Tiger, but I think his chances now are a little :sadcam:
