At 6:33PM on April 12th, 2013, Tiger Woods faced an 87-yard approach to the 15th hole at Augusta National Golf Club. Get it up-and-down and he would lead the Masters alone, in search of his 15th major victory. But what took place would change the course of that hole, the 2013 Masters and possibly Tiger’s career.

I’m actually amazed that so many people still love Tiger. He’s done some horrible things. Guess he’s gotten better as he’s gotten older. 🤷🏻♂️
If no one came up to him before he signed the scorecard then how would he know he’s at fault?
This is so dumb, 2 yards please
This type of chicken manure is why it’s tough to grow the game. If it’s a penalty it should be one shot at most. 2 yards is not a material advantage. The idea he should be DQ or withdraw is absurd. It’s like ejecting a football player for jumping offsides. Some golf people need to come down off their phony high horse.
This has to be one of the most fustrating areas of what is a fantastic sport. It often feels like playing golf, the rules are there to restrict you rather than assist your enjoyment. Surely there is something wrong if someone who is well known for dedicating their life to golf gets a rule wrong. I'd love someone to take a sledge hammer to the rules, look at them objectively and decide how best to streamline them to promote the game. I don't see why you can't just drop back as far as you want in line with the flag (you're already taking a penalty) and why you need to be DQ'd if your score needs to be corrected. I fear for the long term future of the game, not alone with the barries to entry for the cost of equipment and playing, but the nonsense notion of breaking overly complex and pointless rules. What will kill golf? Golf itself.
