‘As Far as JD Taking…’: Tiger Woods Unapologetically Fired Shots at an Ailing John Daly for His Scrutinized Actions in 2019

Tiger Woods is widely known for his sense of humor to his fans worldwide. The 15-time major winner has made tons of records in professional tournaments. But his fans love him off the field as much as they do during his tournaments. And there was a time when Woods took a low hit at John Daly for using a cart in a professional tournament.

Tiger Woods’ response to John Daly using a golf cart

Woods has seen a lot in his life including personal and professional losses. And one of these hardships has been his injuries during tournaments as well as away from the field. But Woods has always come out stronger whenever he returns to the field. However, not all players are as tough as the golf legend. And one such player is John Daly, who once got approved to use a golf cart during a tournament.

Daly said that he had a bad knee and hence needed to use a golf cart during the 2019 PGA Championship. He stated, “I hope I don’t get a lot of grief from the fans…My knee is screwed. I had the meniscus cut out… I can walk up a hill, I just can’t walk down one.”. But before his fans could even react to the news, Woods had something to say about Daly and his condition.

In a press conference before the tournament, Woods was asked about Daly using the golf cart. And his short response was enough to show how strong he was in comparison to Daly. With a smirk on his face, he said, “As far as JD taking a cart, well…I walked with a broken leg.” The reporters cheered and laughed after Woods’ mic-dropping statement. However, little did he know that he would need a cart too in the near future.

Despite indirectly making fun of John Daly, Woods was in no condition to walk 18 holes at the 2022 JP McManus Pro-Am. The golfer was seen using a cart to move through holes due to his unhealed injuries from the unfortunate car crash in 2021. “I’m doing that here only because I don’t need to push it right now,” Woods said. “I still prefer riding in a cart,”.

Although he was not in perfect shape, Woods promised to work hard to get to his best form with consistent practice. And fans will be able to see the golfer compete at the upcoming Hero World Challenge.
