Did Tiger throw his club in the sand when he won two weeks ago Why no penalty?
Under normal circumstances, with your ball in the sand, if you touch the sand with your club and are not in the process of making a stoke (the downward motion of the club with the intention of hitting the ball) you incur a penalty for testing the sand.
