NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods got a break from golf's evolving rulebook Friday when he was not penalized for hitting his ball twice during a shot out of a bush on the 18th hole at Albany Golf Club.
A lengthy review of the issue at the Hero World Challenge determined that the rules infraction could only be determined with slow-motion video evidence. Because it was not "visible to the naked eye,'' nor did Woods feel that he hit had the ball twice, no penalty was assessed.
Woods made a double-bogey 6 on the hole to shoot 69 and is tied for 15th, eight strokes behind leaders Jon Rahm and Henrik Stenson.
