Reed...he knew exactly what he was doing in that bunker plus he's been seen doing numerous things wrong over the years.....I think the best line I ever read about his behaviour was that he should no longer be offered the benefit of the doubt.....worst thing about his behaviour is that he's actually a bloody good player and would win without the need to break rules.

[@Rob-ke2hu]

How could a 500 kilo rock that takes 10 men to move be classed as a loose impedement. The rules official should have been fired in the spot. Surely intimidated because it was Tiger.

[@aislinnkeilah7361]

Reed is the worst. Tigers having a bolder moved by patrons was cheating and led to a rule change. Lexi Thompson’s was ridiculously unfair to her. TV viewers should not be entertained. Sergio’s disqualification for lack of decorum was a correct move.

[@mrdcato]

Patrick's is the worst. Intentionally moving sand, claiming random balls in trees and worst of all was while he was checking his ball position in the rough (which bounced) you could see him lean in and drive his ball into the ground. You won't see it on this video but its clear on some of the original playbacks. That was the most scumbag move I've seen.

The Woods incident was a horrible decision

[@glenwood9190]

What part of he did not break any rule don’t you understand?

[@jeremypearson6852]

There’s a big difference between knowingly cheating versus making an honest mistake. Replacing a ball in a slightly different position on a green is not egregious as long as it’s no closer to the hole.

[@renejean2523]

It can if it takes out a little break or avoids a blemish or spike mark on one's line.

[@kyle381000]

The rule says that the ball must be re-placed on the spot where it was marked. Period. The rule does not make a distinction about whether the ball must not be closer to the hole.

[@johngilhooly3552]

Twice on the woman's side both times marking the ball it was clear they knew what they were doing as replacing the ball one can never say they placed in the exact spot anyway and as mentioned they did not place the ball any closer to the hole.

[@JJ-li3lk]

I replace my ball as close as possible to my marker not nearer the hole if there's blemishes (barron holes) or craters in my line. Fully understand that it can be a slippery slope professionally but some shoes should also be looked at for damaging the area around the holes.

[@kyle381000]

@@JJ-li3lk Understood. In a casual round, that's never going to be a problem. However, strictly speaking it's against the rules because it's not on the exact spot. If the green is damaged, there are ways to repair them within the rules. However, there are some things which cannot be repaired, but that does not mean you get relief for them. That said, unless you're playing at the highest levels, who really cares?

[@vladav1233]

Rahm frequently cheats when his ball sinks into longer grass. It's called "gardening"!

[@user-vb1xy3kc3o]

The only one who didn't break a rule was Woods as he sought a ruling from the referee. No surprise that 3 of the above moved to LIV and possibly one more going. Cheating and money over the love of the game.

[@justforplaylists5767]

Cheaters should be kicked out of golf, and fined Big Time!

[@At_the_races]

I thought Rhams decision was ridiculous.

[@glenwood9190]

I am not a huge fan of Jon Rahm save for the fact that I think he is a very very good player. I say this because when it comes to golf misdemeanours, especially rule infringements it is important to be unbiased in one’s opinion of the player as well as one’s opinion of a particular rule. The definition of the word “moved” for the purpose of golf is different from that in the dictionary. For a ball to be considered to have “moved” in golf it needs to be known or virtually certain, virtually certain being defined as 95%, to have left its original spot and come to rest on another spot. If the ball wobbles, shifts or oscillates but returns to its original position it is not considered to have moved. Using the video evidence provided, and there is some stipulations to the use of video evidence, I agree with you that maybe a penalty was not warranted

[@manusduminy9845]

Agreed

[@davisanderson4274]

As a golfer, it is one of those games/sports that makes you prone to cheating. I have to admit I did the Goldfinger-- finding a ball in a better lie and playing it and desperately hoping my opponent wouldnt notice. In golf sometimes you do it to save face- its embarassing to see a 10 on your scorecard.

[@Zerpersande]

Rahm…the ball moved but returned to its original position

[@paulshawley6490]

For me, Mickleson's was the worst. How that was only a 2 shot penalty and yet Lexi Thompson's was 4 is baffling.

[@ESClubGolf]

What's your take on Patrick Reed?

[@paulshawley6490]

Pretty sure he was cheating but only he would know for sure. If I'm right, that's a waist bunker, so he's allowed to ground his club, just not improve his lie.@@ESClubGolf

[@buffalobraves9]

Mickelson’s was using the rule to your advantage. He knew the two stroke penalty would be at worst the equal to the amount of strokes he would need to hole his ball from where the ball was going to end up. It was actually smart. He knew the rule and used that to his advantage. Smart.

[@dereklawson1318]

The Tiger incident was stupidity on behalf of the referee. The rock is clearly part of the course- it didnt just appear there overnight! Tiger was technically entitled to ask for a ruling but was pushing it a bit!

[@glenwood9190]

#1 - Why would you say that a referee’s actions were stupid when he correctly ruled that the rock was a loose impediment as defined by the rules of golf. #2 - No, Using the rules of golf the rock is not defined as part of the course, it is defined as a loose impediment #3 - Not sure what you mean by “technically” entitled to ask for a ruling. You are either allowed to ask for a ruling or not allowed to ask for a ruling, it has got nothing to do with “technically”. #4 - Tiger was allowed to request a ruling so I do not understand why that would be considered “pushing it a bit”

[@SaintKimbo]

@@glenwood9190 i don't know why you simply cannot see that the Woods incident was, while within the rules, clearly not in the spirit of the game. It is supposed to be a game of honor, first and foremost, and that rock was put there by the Designer/Constructor for aesthetic, and/or strategic purposes, and was never meant to be moved, YOU know that, TIGER knows that, as everyone else knows that. It, definitely, wasn't the 'honorable' thing to do, and the 'loose impediment' rule is universally regarded as simply being able to, quickly, move small objects out of the way, not rocks of the size that it takes half a dozen, or so, men to move.

[@garygolfer3694]

In a Match Play event, my opponent improved his lie from a hole. He admitted the improved lie, and lost the hole. Sad part, he beat on on #18 to win the Match. Cheaters should NEVER have the chance to win. He did not return to our Country club the following year. Once a cheater, you are marked for life.

When in doubt call an official and or let your playing partners know what you have done. Simply no cheating allowed.

[@charliefortin555]

The shot from the deep grass disturbs me. I play lots of shots from deep grass where the ball is held up by the grass. Just placing your club behind the ball where you want to hit it, will move the ball, slightly. And not in a good way most likely setting the ball deeper in the grass. Further, I don’t see how any advantage would be gained by deliberately moving the ball that way, even if the movement was left or right. It seems to me the officials overreacted on this one being afraid of not making a call and favoritism. Given that all players have to deal with deep grass, and not every hot is photographed to this level of detail, I would have let the shot go without penalty.

[@easyduzit6118]

In defense of Phil. The USGA had lost control of the greens. It was not just that day. The green speed was ridiculous. I have played on a course where this was true and understand his frustration. You could hit a good drive and good approach. You could be what would normally be in birdie range and instead of trying to make a putt you were worried about four putting.

[@golfhacker9051]

Patrick / Phil picking up ball knowing he would have to play it if the official came over and saw it. Phil hitting a moving ball so blatant.

[@kyle381000]

Phil knew what he was doing and he did it out in the open. Many people don't realize that if he had not hit his moving ball and knocked it back towards the hole the ball would likely have rolled off the green and into a notoriously difficult spot in a bunker. This shot would have been incredibly difficult to get the ball close to the hole while risking it coming right back down the hill and into the bunker again. Phil immediately understood that and determined that a 2-stroke penalty was the lesser of two evils. Radical, yet effective.

[@denisjl100]

i agree if they catch a cheat on camera but to accept a phone call for an infraction on the golf course is ludicrous. imagine a spectator calling up mlb and saying the last pitch was a strike, a player in a football game was offside or a basketball player committed a foul. he would be told to pound salt, yet golf accepts this on a regular basis.

Tiger and the boulder was clearly within the rules. Suppose a player is struggling to play with a back injury, and asks an opponent to bend and remove a loose impediment for him. That's fine surely?? If it is, so's the boulder - same principle.

[@SaintKimbo]

It is within the rules, but not in the spirit of the game, the most fundamental and basic tenet of Golf, is that, 'you hit it from where you find it'. Tiber hit it behind a rock, Tiger, and EVERYONE else, knows that, that boulder was a part of the course aesthetics, and was never meant to be moved. He utilized the rules to gain an advantage, fair enough, but was it the 'honorable' thing to do?

Reed is the only real cheater in this list.I think the ball in the rough was the worst thing ever, he should have had a penalty just for picking it up. Tiger did nothing wrong in this case, I mean if there is a Little Rock in front of his ball he is allowed to remove it same goes for a giant one. Phill was just stupid but knew what he was doing, and excepted the penalty, I think cheating is getting away with penalty or improve your lie.

[@richardduffy3115]

I would have no problem with that, but he should have been the only one allowed to move the impediment. Good luck on that!! Dont think it would have been allowed for anyone but him.

[@iangodsell9073]

at that stage Tiger was God; a rock that size is NOT a loose impediment. But the worst Tiger incident was his claim in the Players' Championship (which he "won" )that his drive went 250 metres before turning across the water hazard instead of directly over the hazard which would have meant a drop in front of the tee. None of the fellow players in the group had the balls to dispute his claim and the broadcaster would not replay the incident either which would have shown what actually happened. I had it taped and reviewed it multiple times. I have my own thoughts where it crossed the hazard.

Why isn't the tiger one considered a loose impediment? Thought about it and it kinda makes sense.

[@littleo353]

I agree. Had it merely been a small stone, there would be no discussion. So the argument for the penalty is that people in the gallery helped move the stone. ??! After playing the game for over 64 years, my view is that boulders don't belong on the golf course. Just like washing machines don't belong on a course. TV and big $$$ has turned the game into a circus spectacle.

Here are a couple of instances in golf that are undoubtably the most insane rule infractions. First, if the infraction is not caught and brought to light during the hole the player is playing so be it. A person other than the rules official does not apply. Second, if golf is governed by “strokes” how is a “ball movement” considered a stroke if the player never “swung” at the ball. Even in a practice swing the players intent was not at the ball. The rules committee that instituted these were totally inept at their decisions. Just saying.

[@SaintKimbo]

They actually did put some sort of ban on using videos sent in after the fact, after a few of these dismal incidents, AND the rule that if it is NOT seen by Playing Partners/Referees at the time of the incident, bad luck, so at least a bit of common sense prevailed.

[@rrassoc]

#7 - Mickelson's putt still infuriates me.

[@littleo353]

I've played the game for over 64 years now - and was a scholarship golfer in college. About Phil Michelson's cheating. For me the real "cheating" is the ridiculousness of the design of courses. I have no interest in playing the "modern" expensive courses. I much prefer to play a Donald Ross designed course - where good shots are REWARDED and poor shots are not. Michelson had gotten his ball to within less than 10 feet and because he was on a "cliff" on the putting surfaced, he had an almost certain "penalty of 2 more putts. So he was "penalized" - by the design - for having hit his approach shot to within 10 feet. This is lunacy. Then the "elite" "aristocracy" has to render "punishment" for his getting frustrated and angry on an unfair green. How about we start putting "Putt Putt" obstacles on the green. Why not create, in Michelson's situation - a vertical wall - for a REALLY severe penalty. What we need are clown's heads that depending on where one is on the green one might have to putt through. So what is the bottom line. The recent news that Jon Rahm has contracted with LIV golf. The PGA and big money created the debacle of pro golf today. And now they are paying the price. They have turned golf into a "gladiator" "celebrity" "sport". It's a cartoon.

Patrick Reed is clearly a cheater. He moved the sand behind his ball in one tournament in order to improve his lie in that bunker.He has a storied past of questionable decisions while tournament playing. He puts off a negative vibe and continues to push the boundries of fairness and integrity when it comes to the game of golf.

Sergios swashbuckling act in the bunker should not have resulted in a disqualification; for the love of a baby burra burrowing in the Sahara. So, you dazzle the fans with some Spanish conquistadorian slashes....I mean, he didn't drop his trousers and add a dumper to the sandbox.

Mickelson. THE RULE STATES . WHEN THE BALL IS AT REST . HE ABOVE I RESPECTED A LOT UNTIL NOT ONLY DID HIS BALL NOT COME TO REST but THE USGA ALLOWED HIM TO CONTINUE ON NEXT TEE . HE SAID I KNOW I WOULD GET A 2 STROKE PENALTY , THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER THAN INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION. AFTER THAT I THOUGHT YES THESE ARE LEADERS OF OUR GAME AND THIS SHOWS ITS OK TO CHEAT PENALTY 2 STROKES . I LOVE THIS GAME BUT HE WENT ON AND I FOUND IT DISTROYED MY ENJOYMENT OF GOLF ON TV. PAUL

Phil knew that he would get a 2-stroke penalty for striking a moving ball. However, he was concerned that his ball was going to end up in a difficult lie in a greenside bunker and that getting up and down would be almost impossible. What Phil should have done was to allow the ball to come to rest and then declare it unplayable. Under a penalty of one stroke (not two) he could have re-placed the ball on the spot where he made his putt and then continued play from there. Not doing so was his biggest mistake in this situation.

diabolical commentary

[@darrelganzert8909]

I for one am happy Patrick Reed is on the LIV tour so I don’t have to watch him.

What's your take on Lexi Thompson breaking the rule?

[@RickMaxwell-kj6cw]

This might put me and Nelly Gordy in a challenging position

[@ESClubGolf]

Why so?

[@hassanbensober2768]

I can relate to Sergio Garcia, golfing on and off since about 7 years old. Who hasn't skulled a fairway shot or yet hit a worm burner off the tee or flew one out of the rough or stood in front of your locker and said "fuck you jobo I'll do it myself"? I certainly have taken my frustration out on a club at least when I was young. Now I have to buy my own clubs🤡🤡🤡. What an addictive game that can abuse a player and you still come back for more. Right Jobo!!!!

[@Aviator369]

Sergio Garcia is the WORST 🤮🤮

[@user-by1du5lu2h]

Sergio has lost any respect I had for him when he first surfaced.. But Tiger has been given more leeway with the rules than anybody. Don't forget the mushroom incident during one of the early World golf championships at Valderama, I think. It ticked me off so much, I wrote a letter to the USGA, but never got a reply.

[@brixico1404]

Don't forget about tiger at the masters incident
