TIGER AVOIDS DQ BECAUSE OF RACE ???
Maybe, maybe not....It wouldn't surprise me....
No matter the reasons why (tv ratings, stupidity, race, otherwise); the 2-stroke penalty was the wrong decision.
Tiger signed a wrong scorecard and should have been DQ'd - either by the rules committee, or by his withdrawal.
Ignorance of the Rules of Golf, or brain-freeze while playing isn't an "escape jail time" card.
By his own admission, Tiger tried to gain an advantage by breaking the drop rule.
By remaining in the tournament, Tiger (as well as the rules committee) demeaned the game.

yeah they can't dq their ratings draw
some new rule I guess...
"Woods ultimately was given a two-shot penalty Saturday morning, turning the 71 into a 73. But he was not disqualified because of a revised rule (Rule 33-7) that allows players to stay in the tournament if a dispute was based on television evidence."

The ratings would drop off the charts if Tiger is not playing.

But they would blow up if they showed picks or vids of all his mistresses.
Sorry, don't do golf, just bring my buddies beer after I run out of balls; however, I do give golfing lessons to aspiring female golfers.

TV ratings. Only a few golfers in the world can make some of the shots he does on a consistent basis.

If Tiger got DQ'd then other would be screaming racism. It is a game people. The people who make money do so because other people are willing to give money to them. The people who make money are few. It does not affect me.
rules are rules though

Disclaimer: I'm no fan of Eldrick, as well documented here on this board and elsewhere.
The Masters Rules Committee should have addressed it with him while he was still on the course. If they had, the 2-stroke penalty should have been assessed for what was obviously a bad drop. At that point, signing an improper scorecard, which should lead to a DQ, would be a moot point. I think they didn't because of who he is. The exact same footage was used to first say there was no problem with the drop, then again to assess the penalty. The committee botched the call badly.
That being said, the bigger issue is his admission after the round that he moved the drop spot back 2 yards, to give him a better yardage for his 5th shot, thus creating an advantage for himself. Most of the stroke penalty rules and procedures of golf are to inhibit a player from creating an advantage. He should have done the classy thing and withdrew.
