I didn't think they could still do that after he signed his scorecard

Based on what? did they make up a new rule/penalty

Ridiculous.
If this is based off that interview its preposterous. If you watch the video, he clearly drops the ball about a foot behind his previous spot to avoid the divot.

I'm fine with this if it becomes the rule for others in the future.

Me either.

They said that in 2012 the amended the rules for signing a bad card that in certain cases if a player unknowingly broke a rule they can asses a two-stroke penalty without disqualification.

According to the radio, since he believed he played by the rules, and it was an unknown penalty, he didn't sign an incorrect scorecard? Strange

Should have been dq'd.

He did sign an incorrect card, but again, they changed the rule last year to give latitude to a player who unknowingly does so.

Something to do with the USGA's ruling on events broadcast in HD TV

What they're saying on the radio, as long as he hasn't played yet, it's a two stroke penalty

TV rules sports - we all know this. Tiger is Tiger.
(former USGA Commish - "based on the way the rules are written, I don't see how he is nothing but a spectator this weekend.")

It's only been around a year, how many situations has it even been needed I wonder? And let's be honest, I can't begin to imagine some golf rules we've never heard of.

I like the idea of giving more latitude instead of just dqing them.
I just hope it is applied equally to other golfers in the future.

They done screwed up. A 59 coming today.

An example of how strict the rules used to be:
1987 Andy Williams Open
After finishing the tournament at 270, Craig Stadler went to the scorer's tent feeling that he'd just finished in second place. Instead, he was informed that he was disqualified for a Rules infraction the previous day. On the 14th hole in the third round, Stadler's ball landed beneath a pine tree in a muddy lie. He needed to play the shot from a kneeling position and since he was wearing light-colored trousers he placed a towel on the wet ground and kneeled on it while making the shot. At the time nobody caught the mistake, but the next day while showing showing highlights of the prevouis day's play Rules zealots spotted the error and relayed it to PGA Tour officials. What Stadler had done was violate Rule 13-3, illegally building a stance, and since he didn't add two strokes to his third-round score, he was disqualified for turning in an incorrect scorecard. The disqualification cost Stadler $37,333, which would have been his share of second place.
