The golfing world has been rocked by another Tiger Woods cheating scandal. After reviewing his drop on the 15th hole yesterday, the Masters tournament decided not to disqualify him.
Tiger's 3rd shot on 15 Fri. hit the flag, then results in one of most costly of his career: 1 stroke for going in water, 2 strokes next day.

Masters officials don't DQ Tiger Woods for illegal ball drop. Give him a 2-stroke penalty instead. Bandwagon bettors regain consciousness.

Woods? Skirting the rules? Showing bad character? And getting away with it? Put on your shocked faces!
So tiger cheated…. Again. Been cheating his entire career to get where he is. It's all over now.

Tiger Woods cheated? I'm not shocked. He is used to having women handle his balls. No wonder he screwed it up.

Elin can now feel a little better knowing that she isn't the only thing Tiger cheated on #themasters

The Masters tournament is a business, of course. And it seems many were more worried about lost viewership than lost ethics.
I triple dog dare the @The_Masters to disqualify @TigerWoods. Have fun with your weekend ratings, CBS! #teameldrick

POLL RESULTS (600+ VOTES) If Tiger gets DQ'd, 54% say they WON'T WATCH the Masters this weekend http://t.co/6OwS1VLhOV

If Tiger is DQ'd my weekend involves a whole lot less television. I'll pay attention but I won't really watch.

If this happens, the 2013 Masters becomes "who cares"

“If Tiger” and “DQ’ed” trended this morning:
Wrong or right ruling? What say you?
https://twitter.com/AWallner93/status/323069772659036160
The best part of this Tiger DQ/no-DQ debate is that sportswriters were prepared to be outraged no matter what the ruling was.
— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) April 13, 2013
Don't know how Tiger tees it up today. Wrong ruling. Wrong drop. He should be DQ.
— Brooks lee (@Brooksleegolf) April 13, 2013
This is the wrong ruling. There were only 2 choices, no penalty (my view) or DQ. #Masters #tiger
— Lee_Foster (@Lee_Foster) April 13, 2013
Whelp, on with the show!
No disqualification for Tiger Woods but a two-shot penalty. Common sense rules the day. Now I can watch Masters between NFL Draft calls.
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 13, 2013
So tiger gets a two stroke penalty. Ok we can watch him play today. Back to your regularly scheduled Saturday.
— BrentDanStuartMarcel (@ActionSportsJax) April 13, 2013
Everybody okay with calling this "The Ratings Ruling?" Without Tiger, ratings plummet. Now it becomes must-watch TV.
— Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) April 13, 2013
Update:
Will Tiger DQ himself?
If Tiger disqualifies himself now after this ruling, he'd be hailed a hero. It won't happen.

The @GolfChannel commentators are trying to shame Tiger into disqualifying himself. Saying it's the right thing to do. Good luck with that.
— Don Van Natta Jr. (@DVNJr) April 13, 2013
@TwitchyTeam The committee is completely wrong. Tiger will man up and DQ himself. His knows the importance of this to his legacy & the sport
