A little over a week ago, Tiger Woods was slapped with a two-stroke penalty for an illegal drop in Abu Dhabi, which wound up being the difference between making and missing the cut.

So, he hopped on a plane and traveled 8,500 miles from Abu Dhabi to San Diego for last week’s Farmers Insurance Open, where he seemed to finally out run the bad luck that had trailed him to the Middle East.
