But there is a way in which the golfer can traverse the golf course without any worries. Yes, you guessed it right. Through a golf cart!

Many people do tend to use the vehicle on the grounds to prevent exhaustion. Besides, the 15-time major champ himself had gone through an unfortunate situation when he was escorted out of the Genesis Invitational on a cart due to his illness. Thus, one can’t help but wonder if he would go ahead and use the assistance at the upcoming Seminole Pro-Member!

Back in 2023, at the Hero World Challenge, the 48-year-old had said a resounding ‘No’ when asked about the same. Moreover, even at the PNC Championship that followed, the professional chose not to ride the vehicle on the golf course, all the while mentioning how physically fit he was during the father-son event.
Now, coming to the exclusive event at the Seminole Golf Club. Although the 82-time PGA Tour champ has the option of using one at his debut appearance at the elite-filled tournament, based on prior experiences, Woods would probably, if not certainly, decline the use of the golf cart on the course.

Moreover, he had expressed his thoughts during the PNC Championship in December when he said, “I felt like I was physically fit to do it, and also, walking is always better for my back.” Adding on, he continued, “I just wanted to keep it loose and keep it going, and we’re just having so much fun,” before going ahead to say how he had a good time walking the course with his son.

Meanwhile, the legend himself shares much of a distaste when it comes to using the four-wheeler on the greens. What’s more, he has been very keen on following the rules set aside by the Jay Monahan-led circuit when it comes to PGA Tour-sanctioned events.

Woods has more often than not voiced his opinion against using assistance on the greens when it comes to the tournaments on the circuit. He has done so in tandem with the PGA Tour’s policy, which does not allow its athletes to use one unless there is the presence of a valid medical reason. But the case is different for an event like the Seminole Pro-Member.

On the other hand, when it comes to using carts at special tournaments, he has no qualms about it. “We wouldn’t be able to see the likes of Lee Trevino and Gary Player out here,” said the golfer back in 2021 at the PNC Championship when asked about using the vehicle before going ahead to mention how it would be beneficial for guys who are in their 80s out on the greens. Adding on, he said, “To be able to play with their child in this event, having a cart allows them to do that.”
