    tiger apologists ... hahaha ... i am pretty sure if this was sergio - i wouldn't be reading the same comments ...

    Sergio wouldn't even be able to speak he would be crying so hard.

    Not sure how I am being an apologist. I said I thought he would be dq'ed, I think their decision makes sense but it could have gone either way, I don't think he should have withdrawn and I would like to see him win this tournament, which is not going to happen. That is being an apologist?

    He clearly made a mental error. If he was cheating or any player was cheating for that matter, they would not describe their cheating in exact detail an hour later on national TV.

    I don't play golf ... but i've always underwood that they are suppose to report themselves for rule violations ... I guess its a gentlemen's thing.

    Thing is, he clearly didn't realize he violated the rules. He should have known, but somehow didn't in the situation

    thanks for proving my point ... :lol: re: sergio ...

    not knowing the rules is not an excuse ... dustin johnson was dq'd from a major for something he didn't know and unintentionally did ... tiger signed an incorrect scorecard ... he should have been dq'd ... how they can point to intention is beyond me ... golf for all its ridiculous rules and traditions can be a joke ...

    maybe apologist isn't the right word but i just find it a bit of a joke how people cheer for this guy no matter what and always give him a pass ...

    I'm fine with hating Sergio :lol:

    I agree that ignorance is not an excuse and they have stated that, clearly. But they are saying the fact they made a ruling prior to his comments made all the difference.

    I just enjoy watching the best ever, simple as that and I don't give a shit who he fucks.

    that's a lame reason ... it's clear this is favouritism at play here ...

    yikes - i hope you don't think i don't like tiger because of who he fucks ... i can't stand him because he is a prick and he lacks the class of someone like a bubba watson or a plethora of golfers ...

    Come on Tiger

    There wasn't even a breach of the rules in their literal sense

    On the literal interpretation there was no breach ...

    2 yards is generally deemed sufficiently close. Right on the edge ... But acceptable.

    As much as anyone dislikes the guy

    He brings 'it' to golf. Love watching him and rooting for a grandstand finish tomorrow

    His luck on 15th yesterday was terribly bad, but he's in the hunt
