Your chronology is about 30 years off.
It was Arnold Palmer who took golf from a fringe sport, into the mainstream. And made million dollar purses possible. Frank Beard, an old-time pro, was once quoted as saying "Every time I cash a check, I want to thank Arnie for 50 cents on the dollar".
The smart thing for Tiger to have done here, if there was any doubt about his lie, was to call a marshal over for a ruling, before he moved the obstruction. That's why they're out there on the course in the first place. The marshal tells you you can clear it, and the ball moves when you do it, he or she will tell you to return it to the original lie.
