FARMINGDALE, N.Y.—Beginning on Thursday, the PGA Championship will feature virtually all of the best players in golf. Yet none of them will create a spectacle quite like a chain-smoking, pot-bellied 53-year-old ranked No. 1,848 in the world.
John Daly is set to become only the second golfer ever and the first since Casey Martin in 2012 to use a cart to get around at a major championship. At Bethpage Black, a public course on which carts are generally forbidden, Daly will ride in a topless cart supplied by the PGA of America.
He's fat. So what?
It's a sport, walking is part of the game. No exceptions.
This could be beneficial to other athletes also. Some great runninng backs might come out of retirement if they can use carts because they have sore knees.
I am against it. Lots of people have to play through pain. Being able to make it through the round is a part of the competition. But not a huge deal either way.
There is absolutely nothing fair and equitable about the PGA making this exception for John Daly. If they allow Daly to ride, then why not let any person unable to walk 72 holes compete?
yeah because drunk driving is illegal!
Thank you Justice Stevens!
but does he have a golf cart endorsement deal and is it sponsored ? Golf is one long boring luxury car, watch, and clothing fashion show just like tennis.
Might be time to hang it up.
