Curious cause I don't k ow the answer to this.

Does Augusta ever allow carts? Like tomorrow?

Do they even have golf carts that hold clubs?

---

Does Augusta ever allow carts? No. Like tomorrow? No.

Do they even have golf carts that hold clubs? Only to move people around in.

Didn't John Daly get an exemption recently to use a cart due to medical reasons?

---

Tiger could get a cart, but they asked him if he would ever request one during a regular PGA event. He said he would rather not play at all than use a cart to assist him in an event.

---

Yep. The Masters of course has its own rules. I'd be stunned it they allowed a cart.

---

He said over the weekend he would not petition for a cart.

---

Good call. Because the ANGC would say no. No carts for anyone who plays there actually, during the Masters or otherwise.

---

I don't think the rules of Augusta National would hold up against the ADA. If a player has qualified for the event and is classified correctly under the ADA statue, there isn't anything the club can do to prevent a cart being used.

I do understand the Masters isn't a PGA event, but they would lose any court proceedings challenging this as well. It is a moot point, though, since Tiger has said he wouldn't use a cart.

The USGA won a few battles on this front. John Daly tried under ADA and lost in 2018.

As best as I can recall, the ANGC had never lost a lawsuit. That group of members don't lose. At anything.
They even beat the ACLU 20 or so years ago.

But as you say, it'll never come to that.

ANGC could simply revoke his (lifetime) invitation, no? But enough of that crazy talk, Tiger isn't going to use a damn cart, as stated.

2022 Masters seams like a stretch. The Open seems more likely, if he thinks his body can hold up in that weather.

Side note: If he's going to catch Jack, he's going to need to win another Open or two.

Incorrect. The key here is that this is an invitational from a private club. Not (as you say) a PGA run event.

He will play Augusta, he was barely walking a couple months ago and look where he is now. He said this weekend he hasn't taken a day off since he got out of the hospital, expect that drive to continue. He can build strength in his leg he has plenty of time - the golf swing is already mostly back.

Dude is the ultimate grinder, dumb to doubt him at this point.

🚨Apparently PNC winner John Daly was just on FOX and said not only will Tiger be back but will beat Jack’s record 👀

I'll bet you $20 he doesn't play the Masters this year.

$20? I mean whatever, sure.

I mosdef think he's playing.

I know a fat girl, wears an orange skirt. Give her $20 and you can do work. [/LL Cool J in the 80s, or Tiger In the past 20 years]

I wouldn't bet against him. It's his favorite tournament, he just played two rounds this weekend (don't care if he rode in a cart or not) and he will do everything in his power to be ready in over 100+ days.

Shameless bump

How do the Opens work?

Regaedless of how well this week goes, Tiger has said his schedule will be very limited and his ranking has already dropped to the 900s. At what point would he have to start playing in qualifying tournaments?

He would always get a sponsors exemption if needed, I'm sure there is some exemption through the PGA that shows him to play in almost every tournament. He's in the majors for life isn't he?

And only the majors.

Masters - exempt for life
PGA - exempt for life
US Open - exempt thru 2023
The Open - exempt thru age 60

Dude is smart.

The USGA can grant special exemptions, so I'd imagine Tiger would get one for as long as he thinks he can compete. He's also not the type that's going to enter if he doesn't think he has some chance of winning, so as long as he deems his own game in that kind of shape, they will too

Jack got 8 special exemptions into the US Open in the twilight years of his career
