for PGA as well.

What I was looking for: Is it actually a rule about self-reporting?

There are several incidences of players self-reporting violations and such actions held up as being somewhat unique to the sport of golf and holding to the spirit of golf.

Is it the retroactive aspect that is unfair / undermines the sport?

Other sports retroactively penalize participants when it is found after the event that rule(s) were violated.

The incident has renewed talk of eliminating the scorecard rule, and simply assessing the two-stroke penalty before the close of competition. (www.pga.com)
