I disagree with you
WGAF about this story anymore? sergio is a fucking douche and wasn't going to win this tournament. You play with Tiger and life's going to be a little more challenging; it has been for the past decade.
Oh, I have no problem with Tiger pulling the 5 wood. I don't think he did anything wrong regardless of whether the marshals said anything to him or not.
I'm just not surprised in defending himself that he lied to do it....even though he didn't need to.
The fact the marshal went as far as saying "lack of character" shows that guy has an agenda. If he didn't he would have said something, "I didn't say anything" or "he didn't ask". Jumping right to character makes me doubt anything he says.
Tiger lied? Not so fast say marshals who were there

Gamesmanship. Pure and simple. The old guys did this sort of stuff all the time. Non story. Sergio needs to toughen up as evidenced by this and his collapse at 17.
"The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot," Woods explained. "And then I hear [Garcia's] comments afterward, and it's not real surprising that he's complaining about something."
“Tiger had already taken his club, but we did tell him that Sergio had hit.”
The marshal defending Tiger isn't really helping his cause. It does explain why Tiger didn't apologize to Sergio, but Tiger still said he pulled a club after the marshal told him Sergio had hit, which is not true.
This is an incredibly overblown story, and it gives plenty of ammo for both the Sergio and Tiger haters to continue/strengthen their hate.
You need confirmation that Tiger is a liar?I don't think it confirms Tiger is a liar. Just mistaken.
I doubt he was super focused on the exact order of seeming-less irrelevant events that occurred during the round. He was probably thinking about his next shot.
