Cheating is one of the worst things to do as a professional Sportsman it’s completely wrong morally you’re almost certain to get caught with all the cameras and attention and you will forever be remembered for your act of cheating however for some golfers the Temptation is too much in fact pro
Golfer Padre Harrington has stated that he has seen lots of cheating on tour but without irrefutable evidence the officials could be sued for defamation so let’s go through some examples of the most blatant accounts of cheating in golf history Patrick Reed he was always going to be on this list Patrick Reed is
One of the most controversial professional golfers today and it is because of examples like this in 2019 he took part in the Hero World Challenge a competition exclusively for players in the top 50 golf rankings Reed was the co-leader when he played the 11th hole
But he found himself in a tough spot in a massive bunker off the green while preparing his shot he does a practice shot where he blatantly moves sand out of the way and gives himself an easier shot of course this is not allowed no one at the time noticed but he had some
Bad karma as his shot was almost fantastic but rolled off the green he was later given a two-shot penalty as well the more you look at it the more blatant it seems ironically if he hadn’t taken away the sand it may just have been a perfect shot in a different
Tournament in Australia soon after the controversy was still fresh in the minds of the Australian crowd as Reed teed off shouts of Bunker rang out much to the Delight of the crowd the drive rolled and rolled until it found itself in a bunker and cheers erupted must have been
Pretty embarrassing for Reed Phil Mickelson Phil Mickelson is also a controversial figure capable of pretty much anything on the golf course from the Fantastic to the frightful in 2018 at the Uso open he shocked the golfing World by letting his frustrations get the better of him held at shinicok Hills
Mikkelson wasn’t a fan of the placement of the 13th pin on day three seeing his butt rolling past the hole and starting to roll down the hill mikkelson jogs over to his ball and quickly putts it before it was anywhere near to stopping rolling of course you must wait for your
Ball to stop rolling before you hit it again uproar followed as well as calls that Mickelson should be disqualified but in the end he was only given a two-shot penalty afterwards melson just claimed that he was playing by the rules and preferred a two-shot penalty compared to his ball rolling further
Down the reason he knew this was because John Daly had done the same thing years earlier and received the same punishment do you think mikkelson was smart or should the American have been disqualified for abusing the rules let us know down in the comments Patrick
Reed again you know what they say once a cheater always a cheater this incident took place at the Farmers Insurance open in 2021 I know what a fantastic name for a golf tournament Reed hit a shot that ended up in the rough as he made his way
Over to it he asked a marshall if it bounced and he was told that she didn’t think so whether it bounced makes a whole lot of difference because the ball cannot be embedded if it is already bounced he then hurriedly picks up his ball and spends a whole lot of time near
The hole before calling a rules official over who gives a free relief Rory mroy was involved in a very similar incident at the same tournament but there were far fewer accusations of cheating towards the Irishmen there are two reasons for that Reed behaved suspiciously around his ball while Rory
Didn’t and Rory has a lot more trust saved up in the bank thanks to his previous Integrity than Patrick Reed now plays on the livv and I doubt it will be the last controversy he is involved in Dustin Johnson DJ is one of the most successful golfers
Of recent times and has won two major championships the US Open in 2016 and the Masters Tournament in 2020 however he may have been successful in 2010 if he wasn’t cheated by the officials as some claim it seemed that Dustin Johnson had shot a bogie on the final hole
Putting him into a three-way playf with Bubba Watson and Martin CER however he was retroactively given a two-point penalty that eliminated him from his playoff with a poor shot DJ found himself in the middle of the crowd with his ball surrounded by Gatorade bottles and beer
Cans he lined up and whacked his ball away grounding his Club as he would for any shot unfortunately he was deemed to be in a bunker meaning that grounding your club was caused for a two-shot penalty Johnson handled the situation very classily avoiding a meltdown for
What was a very harsh punishment at such an important time I I know that I would not have stayed so calm if the same thing happened to me in my biggest Tournament of my life up to that point fair play to him Justin doden Justin doden turned Pro in 2018 and was playing
In the Ottawa open in July of 2023 on the final hole Doan scored a seven a double bogey which placed him one shot under the cut he was one under and the cut was two under after the hole was finished and these scorecards were signed doden asked to see it again
Erased the seven and put in a five instead in an incredibly egregious form of cheating remember Pro players only get paid if they make the cut so it is understandable why he did what he did however if he had scored neg -3 then the cut may have changed causing other
Golfers to lose their deserved prize money after the incident he tweeted I am here to confess of the biggest mistake I have made in my life to date I cheated in golf this is not who I am I let my sponsor spor down I let my competitors
Down I let my family down I let myself down I pray for your forgiveness john9 he hasn’t played since Arnold Palmer Arnold Palmer is rightly considered a golfing Legend however no one is bigger than the sport at the 1958 Masters the first of seven that Palmer
Won he felt his ball was embedded Behind the Green of the 12th hole so he asked rues official Arthur Lacy for a free drop Lacy disagreed with Palmer and didn’t Grant him a free relief Palmer hit his ball topped it and then got into the hole for a double bogey annoyed with
Lacy’s ruling he then went back and played a second ball this time he managed to get the ball up and down for a par three holes later Palmer was told that his second ball would count rather than his first one Palmer went on to win
The major by one shot over Doug Ford and Fred Hawkins who he would have lost to had his original ball counted instead Ken Venturi who finished Two Shots behind Palmer recently claimed that this was cheating nobody not even Palmer is bigger than the game Venturi wrote I
Firmly believe that he did wrong and that he knows that I know he did wrong it really doesn’t seem right that a player can finish a hole and then use a second ball to try and get a better score even if the ball wasn’t beded do you think this was cheating Tiger Woods
For our last example cheating may be a bit of a stretch It’s 1999 and Tiger Woods has found himself behind a small Boulder at the Phoenix Open he asks the official whether the small Boulder counts as a loose impediment and therefore whether it can be moved he is
Told that he can so he enlists the help of the fans watching to move the boulder for him so that he can hit his shot about 10 people join in and move the boulder out of the way not too much was at stake in this tournament so it was
Isn’t overly controversial but it hardly seems in the spirit of the rules to have 10 people move a boulder where does that end chopping down trees or moving bunkers what makes the story very funny though is that Woods later said that the fans moved the boulder in the wrong
Direction but he was too embarrassed to ask them to move it again have you ever played with a cheater I know I have I remember my grandmother used to conveniently forget a few Strokes every hole and end up with a much better scorecard than me what can you do thanks
For watching I’ll catch you in the next one
