A fact from this article was featured on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the On this day section on April 13, 2012.

On December 4th, 2011, Tiger Woods won his his first event in two years (although the event was not part of the PGA Tour).

Controversy section/masters '13/ favoritism

And entire section should be added addressing not only the recent events at the masters but any history of recieving favorablee treatments. This last one is the straw breaking the back. Mass media outlets like ESPN/CBS etc. blatantly lied about the rules, and wikipedia will not reflect their propaganda. The rule the master's morons claimed tiger was saved by does not even apply to him. The rule was not supposed to be applied to people who were ignorant of the rule. Additionally, many people in the know have noted the sheer impossibility that they could have originally reviewed this drop and not have immediately known he violated the rule, as he is clearly several feet from his original spot. 68.115.53.79 (talk) 13:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC) This wiki is missing a controversy-related section. 68.115.53.79 (talk) 13:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

The article currently includes this statement, under "Professional golf career": On April 13, 2013, Woods was up for disqualification from the 2013 Masters Tournament over claims he took illegal drop shot. After further review, Woods was assessed a 2-stroke penalty for the drop and not disqualified. I assume this is the controversy you're talking about? Theoldsparkle (talk) 14:21, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Tangential. The controversy is the fact he should have been DQ'ed but was only given a 2 stroke penalty, ostensibly due to favoritism. 68.115.53.79 (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
It says he was up for disqualification, but after review he was not disqualified but instead received a 2-stroke penalty. That certainly sounds like the same event you're referring to. If you're expecting someone to add a lengthy screed to the article about how viciously unfair the decision was, I don't think that's going to happen, and I doubt there would be consensus that such content is appropriate. There's a lot for this article to cover about Woods, and this doesn't sound like a majorly significant incident in his life. Theoldsparkle (talk) 18:14, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Where is the part about former masters champions telling him to withdraw? Where the part about the impossibility of the officials missing 6 foot differential? Where is the part about tiger woods intnetionally moving this ball to get a better shot? Where is the part about the augusta officials cheating for tiger and using this new rule about not DQing people when those very rules have been said by the USGA that the rules will NOT BE APPLIED to ignorance of the rules of golf. Tiger siad himself he didn't know what he did was illegal. All this is part of the controversy. And I don't need a wit of consensus to add such notable material. The gravy train of this wiki being a little more than fan website is over. 68.115.53.79 (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Tiger is now using the new Nike Covert driver, as of the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational.

So, please change his driver from the VR Tour to the VR_S Covert.

Win counts

How did Tiger's PGA and Eurotour win counts go up in the same week?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 14:06, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Because he won an event, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, that is sanctioned by both tours. Same with other WGC events and the majors. Tewapack (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

172.248.125.189 (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2013 (UTC) Tiger did not win the Byron Nelson award for 2013. Steve Stricker has won it based upon the final tournament of the year, the Tour Championship. Stricker met the 50 round minimum average (unlike the Vardon Trophy, which has a 60 round minimum and was won by Tiger this year). When the pgatour.com website updates, you will see the final scoring average standings.

Corrected. Tewapack (talk) 03:30, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

2013 Season

Could some of the information on the 2013 season be moved to the Professional golf career of Tiger Woods wikipedia page and the amount on this page per cut down to be reflective of the amount of information for other years. What does exist may need to be expanded to be include with the Professional golf career of Tiger Woods wikipedia page.

I'm looking at the "Career Achievements" section: was The Players in 2013 Tiger's 300th start? If so, he won his 100th, 200th and 300th... SEE: http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.08793.tiger-woods.html Thanks. Marvin 70.77.220.237 (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
