The drop is supposed to be as near as possible. He specifically stated that he intentionally did not drop as near as possible. That means he broke the rule. By the letter of the law he should be disqualified.
So if someone drops a foot from the divot, should they be DQ'ed? I mean, that's obviously not as near as possible. The rule language is just so fricking terrible that I can't believe it even made it into the book. A club length is so much easier to interpret and enforce.

If the drop was from as near as possible to not gain a competitive advantage and it rolls to a foot away that's fine. Tiger chose to drop at his original shot but admittedly did not drop as near as possible. I don't see how there's any grey area in that. Originally the officials were giving him the benefit of the doubt. When he explicitly states that his intention as to be feet away from the shot so as to gain an advantage their hands were tied.
