Technically the article is right it's all up to the rules committee. They can do whatever the frick they want.
That's why nothing will happen. They don't want the weekend of the Masters to be marred by a controversy involving Tiger. The 2013 Masters would forever be remembered as Tiger-gate.
...or was the other scandal Tiger-gate and this would be Tiger-gate 2.0?

My guess as to the explanation:
"He walked up to the drop zone to check that angle. Didn't like it. Took drop closest to the prior point. Found that he was 2 yards further back after checking yardage. Because he was not fully aware, ball was no closer to the hole, ball was in play with no penalty"
They could also throw in something about not having to drop in your own divot (And yes, I know that's not in the rule book)

The only problem with this is that it wasn't on the line the ball last crossed the hazard.

The controversy will be there whether Tiger is DQ'd or not.
If Tiger wins, what happened at 15 on Friday will not be forgotten by everyone. I won't bring up the "A" word. But I guess I just did.

If true then the integrity of the game is apparently not of paramount concern to those who oversee the game.

Was the point that he drops from the last point it crossed the hazard on his side, or where it crossed following hitting the pin.

I'm saying they're going to say that he acted in accordance with his option of playing as close to the original shot

Do you think CBS is going to explore that controversy to the detriment of their decades long cash cow? Har. They will be sure to sweep everything under the rug that they can.

No it can't. It was a yellow marked hazard. That means he has to drop on his side of the hazard, and doesn't have the option of dropping up where it went in, no closer to the hole.

And David will have to change his mind sometime in the next 12 hours about the DQ statement.

Then integrity of the game will be lost. They know he didn't drop as close as possible to his original position. 2 yards and 12 inches is a HUGE difference.

This, unfortunately.

I think Feherety has always wanted to join his friend McCord on the Augusta ban list. Badge of honor.

Something about Augusta National and bikini wax

While I agree, the majority of golf fans(from die-hard to casual) have no idea this controversy even exists...and they won't unless he gets DQ'ed/penalized or ESPN/CBS make it a feature segment of their broadcast. Which I doubt will happen...but who knows.

You think the SEC would overturn an obvious blown call to frick Bama out of a national title? Even if photographic evidence clearly showed that the refs were wrong and Bama should've lost the game? frick NO. They'd lose too much money. Same thing here. No way they DQ Tiger and watch their ratings go to shite.
