Opponent tees off in front of the tee-markers: what is the ruling in match play?
In match play your opponent accidentally plays from in front of the tee-markers. What is the ruling?
Answer
No penalty, but you may cancel the stroke and have it replayed
In match play there is no penalty for playing from outside the teeing area. But you may promptly cancel the stroke and make your opponent play again from inside the teeing area. If the shot was good, you will cancel it; if it was bad, you let it stand.
