Notable Rules Incidents of 2013

On the fifth hole Friday at the 2013 Abu Dhabi Championship, Tiger Woods hit his drive into deep brush to the right of the fairway. After consulting with playing partner Martin Kaymer (bent over in red vest), Woods took a free drop for an embedded lie. However, the area where Woods took the drop is known locally as a sandy area, meaning that Woods was not allowed to take a free drop. The error resulted in a two-stroke penalty causing Woods to miss the cut by one shot.
