Tiger cheats??????? or a trick to get viewers ......

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods got a reprieve Saturday in the Masters when he was given a two-shot penalty for a bad drop after signing his card and still was allowed to stay in the tournament.

Tiger Woods screwed up at Augusta. I can guarantee you there was NO WAY that he would not be playing for the rest of the tournament. Television wants him there, and what TV says, goes.

Now, just think of this scenario, from the standpoint of TV viewers .... Tiger is way back .... how many people are going to watch .... today and tomorrow .... to see if he starts a climb to the top of the leader board? And, and, if he does, would it not be the most memorable Masters ................ever? Remember Tin Cup............ ?
