Reaction. Tour ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ released a statement after the judgment was released saying that the “Tour will continue to welcome ▇▇▇▇▇ as a member and competitor.”177 However, during a conference call a few days later, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ made it clear that the welcome would not necessarily extend to other disabled athletes, “The court clearly focused its decision on ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ only. They make it quite clear that they are not certain that this same decision would apply to any other competitor.” 178 When asked whether the Tour would offer carts to other athletes who requested them, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ replied that the tour had yet to work out a policy, but that he “believe[d] we can assume that we have the flexibility to continue our rules as they apply to walking.”179 Among Tour members, most golfers were happy for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as an individual, but concerned about what the ruling meant for the game. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a PGA Tour member since 1996, said “I’m disappointed that the Supreme Court doesn’t believe that walking is a part of golf.”180 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, owner of fifteen PGA Tour wins, and a cancer survivor, sided with ▇▇▇▇▇▇, “I don’t think this is hurtful for the game, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a unique individual, and his is a unique situation.”181 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ was eight months pregnant and scheduled to tee off at the U.S. Women’s Open only a few days after the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ decision was handed down. Despite her condition, ▇▇▇▇▇ did not ask for a cart, “I don’t feel like I have a disability, even it its temporary. The fact that you’re pregnant is a part of life.”182 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ learned of the Court’s decision when he received an early morning phone call from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on May 29th. ▇▇▇▇▇ immediately called his brother ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to share the good news183. On a conference call later in the day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ told reporters “I’m grateful I don’t have to deal with any more legal issues.”184 When asked whether he believed he would be a trendsetter for other disabled athletes, he responded, 174 Id. at 691. 175 Id. at 692. 176 Id. at 704. 177 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Disabled Golfer May Use a Cart on the PGA Tour, Justices Affirm, N.Y.
