Tiger's Illegal Drop on 15

[PRO]

Im just curious when we can expect the announcement that Tiger has been DQ'd for signing an incorrect scorecard. The rules state that you must drop "as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played." Tiger clearly dropped his ball about 2 yards behind where he previously played his 3rd shot. In a day where we saw a 14 year old penalized for slow play, Tiger should be DQ'd. Rules are rules and Tiger could have dropped much closer to his original spot than he did.

You will have a long wait... Not an illegal drop

How was it not?

Actually since Tigers 1st ball cleared the hazard I think he could go back as far as he wanted as long as he kept the entry point between him and the flag.

Someone could confirm that

It's not an illegal drop. You have multiple options when it comes to your options in that scenario. One being his drop decision. Learn the rules.

I know the rules and I even quoted what the rule states in my original post. Maybe you should learn to read. Tiger dropped about 2 yards farther from the hole than his original spot. He could have dropped it much closer to his original spot.

Even if it was, there is no way the Masters committee is going to DQ Tiger Woods.

Seriously? He has the option of going back as far as he wants keeping the flagstick and point of entry into the hazard in line and playing from there. No illegal drop what so ever.

The entry point was on the opposite side of the pond, the green side.

So which relief choice did he choose?
