Tiger has the strongest mind in the game that is why he has 78 victories. Even when he hits a bad shot he turns it into a good one.

This is my official "no comment" about the drop.

Lifter · May 13, 2013

mgranato, do you think Tiger will win two or more additional majors by the time he retires?

ms1170 · May 13, 2013

??? most 10 handicappers would make double from where he played his 3rd shot. If he'd of knocked it on the green and made par it might make a top 10 great pars list.

Less than 50% of his fairways... man has the greatest short game in history.

How does he get away with it? Do you think Sergio would have "allowed" that drop?

BrendanC · May 14, 2013

Reckon he got about 20 yards more out of it than he should have.

The marshal said it was okay to drop there.

On his current form, hard to believe he won't.

If Casey Wittenberg was fine with it, you should be too. Besides, he had a better view then you did.

We can agree that 2d video distorts reality for a close-up, slow motion, golf swing... but when I'm lounging in my boxers, eatin' popcorn, I can absolutely see that the off-angle blimp cam shows Tiger's drop was illegal.

Puh-leez.

Look where it splashed and look where he dropped.

Did the ball turned 90 degrees left?

EDIT: Here's an image that shows the three spots (teebox, drop and splash)

The ball flight is theoretically possible but looking at the replay, in my view the ball starts to hook much earlier than it would have needed to for Tiger's drop to be correct.

Should have put a marshal in the blimp then. Blame the PGA.

We have the luxury of being arm chair QBs several days after the drop took place.

Tiger didn't (have access to instant replay and overhead shots/analysis). The rules officials didn't. His playing partner and caddy didn't.

I sincerely doubt I've ever dropped in the correct spot when I've been in similar situations. If Tiger's playing partner was OK with it and the marshals were also copacetic with the decision, what are we bitching about now?

God Bless the Internet...

Tiger is great, he's my hero, don't say anything bad about him. He's never done anything wrong. He is flawless, he is fantastic. I love him, because he's Tiger.
