Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

2 Strokes is the right call, the rest is drama.

They did a decent job explaining the ruling on the Golf Channel. Rules 26 & 33.

I agree with Joe. Tiger broke the rules and that's what lead to him signing the incorrect card. It sucks but a precedent needs to be set by the #1 player in the world. The competitor is responsible to know and abide by the rules end of story. There can be no breaks for anyone. Not even Tiger.

I thought so. Had it been called propely during play and after the first review, it would have been a two stroke penalty.

He is abiding by the rules, they changed it so if he signed "an incorrect" scorecard, he's no longer DQ'd if he couldn't have known it was incorrect at the time of signing.

He broke the rule and signed an incorrect scorecard. He knew he improved his lie, he even admitted it. It was a mistake by him by confusing his options, but he still signed an incorrect card.

He should have known. Why do you say he couldn't have known?

I'm not saying he should be DQd but he has a chance to make a huge statement and show some character if he DQd himself.

They assessed the penalty after he signed the card.

They initially ruled that his drop was fine. Before he signed his card.

Thanks for your contribution. Feel free to DQ yourself from the conversation.

Now knowing than Tiger Woods was told the drop was reviewed before signing his card and told it was good there's no reason he needs to withdraw, And quite honestly the two-stroke penalty is bunk.
