Tiger-heckling in Melbourne: It's not condoned, but it's not banned

Contrary to a rumor report from Australia’s Herald Sun — the same outlet that claimed Tiger Woods was planning a “shocking” return at the WGC Accenture Match Play back in February — fans who heckle Tiger won’t be given one warning before getting booted from Victoria Golf Club, the site of this week’s Australian Masters.
