You would NEVER believe that some things still happen in professional golf today. There are many pro golfers who intentionally cheat to their advantage. This year, a number of cases have come to light again. You would expect the pros to treat the rules with more respect, but they actually don’t. How is cheating even possible for a professional golfer with all the spectators, cameras, and authorities constantly following them? And how come they sometimes get away with it? Anyone who has ever played golf knows that it is a game of honesty and integrity. but these players violate the rules. Let’s dive into the times that pro golfers cheated in 2023.
Did we all witness the Ryder Cup moment of US golfer Justin Thomas when he ‘kicks his own ball’ as Team USA faces accusations of ‘playing dirty’?
Justin Thomas was partnered up with his good friend Jordan Spieth during the 2v2 Ryder Cup match. The American pair first tried to get relief for an embedded ball that was absolutely buried in the rough on the left of the 6th hole at Marco Simone. The officials in charge chose to ignore their request, so Thomas had to take the shot. He tried to hit it out of the grass with his club but topped the ball, sending it sideways. As it came out, and he struggled to regain his balance, Thomas’s foot made contact with the ball and knocked it a bit further away. He reacted immediately when it happened by saying, “It hit me too”, implying that he did not intentionally hit the ball.

Golfers cheated in 2023 did we all witness the Ridder cup moment of us golfer Justin Thomas when he kicks his own ball as Team USA faces accusations of playing dirty Justin Thomas was partnered up with his good friend Jordan SP during the 2v2 Ridder Cup match the American pair first tried
To get relief for an embedded ball that was absolutely buried in the rough on the left of the sixth hole at Marco Sim moan the officials in charge chose to ignore their request so Thomas had to take the shot he tried to hit it out of
The grass with his Club but top the ball sending it sideways as it came out and he struggled to regain his balance Thomas’s foot made contact with the ball and knocked it a bit further away he reacted immediately when it happened by saying it hit me too implying that he
Did not intentionally hit the ball but many fans thought otherwise the 30-year-old former world number one was instantly Accused by fans of kicking his own ball after footage emerged online showing him apparently kicking it golf fans rushed their ex account accounts to show their frustration over the footage
Of Thomas one asked did JT not kick the ball there while someone else was more sincere and declared JT just kicked his ball another fan simply said loss of hole surely he called it as well there is a provision in the rules of golf that allows players to be penalized if they
Strike the ball with their body but but this is the reason why it was not considered an issue by the Arn a and usgaa in rule 11.1 a it is outlined in detail if a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person including the player there is no penalty this is
True the rule says even if the ball hits the player the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment we can see that the ball is still moving and I don’t think anyone would seriously argue that Thomas hit the ball on purpose with his foot so as
Far as the rules are concerned it’s simply Keep Calm and Carry On play it as it lies Thomas claimed that the ball hit him but what if he intended to kick the ball with his foot it seems to us that rule 11.1 does not apply in that case
What do you think of this Justin Thomas kicked ball penalty situation did the rules of golf get this one right let us know in the comments now let’s talk about the latest cheat of this summer Justin doden he made a huge blunder on his scorecard during the commissioner’s Ottawa open a
PGA tour Canada competition that took place this summer he noted that he had made a par on the 18th hole which was a par five instead of the score that he actually made which was a double bogey seven the entire incident happened at the end of the second round when doden
Was struggling to make the cut for the final round not only did doeden write down the wrong score but he wiped off the seven and replaced it with a five Instead This put him at three under for the tournament and one stroke above the cut line which meant he was virtually
Through to the next round two players who witnessed Doan’s double bogey noticed the error on the leaderboard later they got in touch with the tournament officials to discuss the situation but when Justin got wind of what had been whispered to the officials he withdrew even before they could investigate the incident later he
Apologized on X or whatever it’s called these days I am here to confess of the biggest mistake I have made in my life to date I cheated in GF this is not who I am I let my sponsors down I let my competitors down I let my family down I
Let myself down I pray for your forgiveness intentionally marking an incorrect score on a scorecard is a violation of rule 3.3 B the USGA says if a marker who is a player knowingly certifies an incorrect score for a hole the marker should be disqualified the jury is not yet certain about Doan’s
Punishment but a one-year suspension could on the line and now it’s time for what is probably the biggest cheat in the golf Community unfortunately we can’t let him pass in this video we are talking about Phil Mickelson everyone knows about his Infamous moving ball Fiasco but did you
Know that mikkelson hasn’t played by the book once before in 2010 there was some controversy about the ping A2 wedge the PGA Tour decided that the grooves of the club were too aggressive to be allowed during tournaments these Square grooves were believed to be giving players of
The club a massive Advantage as they caused chipped balls to stop too suddenly therefore they decided to ban this club despite the ban Phil mson whose controversy is never far away continued to use the club for a time until groov gate was eventually resolved not very proper of the best man the
Question of whether this was cheating or not Still Remains back to the other incident in the summer of 2018 when one of the strangest moments in modern golfing history occurred at the US Open championship at at that very spot on the legendary greens of shinok Hills Phil Mickelson one of golf’s most celebrated
And charismatic figures found himself at the center of a scandal that would become a defining moment of his career it happened on the 13th green during his third round mikkelson already struggling with the challenging course conditions faced a slippery downhill putt after striking the ball it quickly became
Obvious that it was going to roll far past the hole and possibly even off the Green in an impulsive decision that shocked both fans and officials mikkelson chased after the ball and hit it back towards the hole before the ball had even stopped from his first putt this action which is extremely uncommon
In professional play is more akin to a casual weekend golfers frustration in professional ranks it’s a clear violation of rule 14 of5 which states that a player must not make a stroke at a moving ball the discussion that followed wasn’t about the rule itself but about the appropriate penalty and
Mikkelson’s intent uproar followed mikkelson was forced to take a two-stroke penalty for his actions however many in the golf world argued that this Behavior should have been disqualified under rule two which addresses conduct that seriously damages the Integrity of the game mikkelson’s move raised questions not just about the
Rules of golf but about sportsmanship and the spirit of the game his reputation built over Decades of professional play was now tinged with a moment of controversy some people still defend mikkelson by saying that he only took advant Vantage of the rules and therefore hasn’t really cheated in this
Case but in the end he admitted and offered his apologies to the golf media my anger and frustration got the best of me last weekend I’m embarrassed and disappointed by my actions it was clearly not my finest moment and I’m sorry if we thought that the golf world’s biggest cheater has already
Passed in this video you’re wrong this former Masters winner has really hit the Bull’s Eye and cheated at least three times on live televis Vision many golfers discussed him and that’s understandable it’s in the nature of the Beast after all we’re talking about the bad boy of golf Patrick Reed the first
Incident occurred during the Hero World Challenge Reed found himself in a Sandy bunker as he prepared for his shot cameras and Spectators witnessed what appeared to be an intentional attempt to improve his lie an act strictly prohibited in golf Reed was seen taking several practice swings each time
Appearing to brush away sand from behind his ball according to the PGA tour’s rule book it is interpreted as an attempt to gain an unfair Advantage by clearing a path for a cleaner shot which is illegal Reed denied that he intentionally moved the sand after the round he had the opportunity to defend
Himself but it didn’t work his penalty remained when other golfers were asked if Reed was cheating Brooks cupka didn’t hold back yeah he responded I mean I don’t know what he was doing building sand castle in the sand but you know where your Club is I mean I took 3
Months off and I can promise you I know if I touched sand the other Shady incident happened at the Emirates Golf Course where Reed teed off and saw his ball disappear in a tree Reed got a drop during the third round after claiming he could identify his ball which was stuck
In one of the palm trees lined along the Fairway Reed consulted with officials using binoculars before he was allowed to take a drop near the tree in question rather than have to return 275 yd back to the tea however footage later appeared to show his ball had
Disappeared into a tree closer to the tea fellow golfers were fre use and fired up on Twitter he is a fantastic golf player but Reed cheated how can you identify 100% something very specific on your ball that is not in the tree how is the guy not disqualified this question
Was also on everyone’s mind during the third round of the Farmers Insurance open on the par 4 10th hole Reed received relief for a ball he believed was embedded in the ground after his approach shot Mist left into thick rough but things began to shift when he quickly removed his ball from its
Original position before it could be analyzed by one of the officials was his ball actually embedded in the thick grass or was the ball just playable no one will ever know we can’t imagine that cheating is possible for a professional golfer there are a ton of Spectators cameras and authorities following you
The entire tournament still it happens and sometimes in the most devious ways did you know that Tiger Woods was also once suspected of cheating many still think that what he did is not allowed other defended him and believed that it was taking advantage of the rules in his
Favor bystanders once moved away a big piece of stone so he had a straight line to the green with his ball the rules state that you are not allowed to do this yourself but others can remove objects there is one thing we’ve learned from this once you do it the guys all
Know who you are forever
