Golf fans demand PGA Tour rule change to prolong Tiger Woods’ career

Golf fans are urging the PGA Tour to let Tiger Woods compete in tournaments using a golf cart, in the hopes of extending his playing career.

Woods has announced himself as arguably the greatest golfer of all time during his remarkable career, racking up a record-equalling 82 PGA Tour victories and 15 major championships. He has however been forced to move to a part-time schedule in recent years due to problems with injury.

In 2024, Woods participated in only five PGA Tour events and one outside of the four major championships, where he had to withdraw during the second round of the Genesis Invitational due to illness.

He also completed 72 holes just once, after making his only cut of the year at the Masters in April. The main issue over the past three years has been his right leg, following a severe car accident on the outskirts of Los Angeles in February 2021.

Despite fears that Woods would never play competitive golf again, he made a heroic comeback at the Masters in 2022. It is clear that Woods is in discomfort when walking on the golf course, but as he turned 49 this week, things might soon get a bit easier.

When he turns 50, Woods will be eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions, a senior circuit that allows players to use a cart during play. This is a benefit not currently extended to regular PGA Tour events, which could impact Woods as the years go by.
