Woods was asked whether he would ever take a golf cart during a PGA Tour event. He answered that he would never do so. Although if he needs to and other events like the Champions Tour, PNC Championship, etc where it is allowed for him to do so, he would if need be.

His exact words were, “On the PGA Tour, no. On the sanctioned events where it’s allowed? Yes.”

However, his denial of the use of golf carts did not just limit to himself. He also talked about the pro golfer, Casey Martin. Martin is a renowned professional golfer. He partnered with Woods during their College days at Stanford.

Casey suffers from a condition known as Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. This makes it difficult for him to walk through the course. The pro golfer also approached the legal front to solve this issue back in 2001. Hereby, the court held that the PGA Tour could not prevent the use of carts in its game in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Woods said, “You know, my teammate was Casey Martin… What he did with the ADA, I voted against it. I think [walking] is an integral part of the game, at our level. As far as a regular event, no, I would never do that.”

Tiger’s involvement with Casey in this scenario did not sit well with the viewers. His decision to involve Casey Martin’s need to use carts because of his condition was considered to be a poor choice of example to present at the moment.

A Twitter user wrote, “.. would be enough to say that taking a cart “isn’t for me”. Martin is a former teammate who just had his leg amputated, for Christ’s sake.”
