Title: Tiger Woods

Looks like the PGA have bent the rules to accommodate Tiger continuing at the Masters :o. Would that have happened if it were any other player :-\. If he wins will it be a soured victory :(.

The decision is an outrage and if the man had any sense of sportmanship he should have walked away. But there was never going to be a chance of that.

He's just been interviewed and said the rules say he can play, so he's playing by the rules. He signed a card with an incorrect score, end of.

I am amazed that this has happened at The Masters, a tournament supposedly inspired and defined by the memory of Bobby Jones who was renowned for his deep sense of sportsmanship. It is also a tournament that frowns on excessive mention of money, for example banning broadcasters from saying things like "This put is worth $123,000 per foot." Yet I have to agree with Stoop - it does seem that money has spoken in this case.

He's such a big draw in the world of golf - hence the new HDTV rule as they call it. If he were a true sportsman he would have disqualified himself.

Lost what little respect I had left for him now.

Adam Scott, and even more so, Angel Cabrera showed Woods the way that you should behave.

Well done both  :)
