Many speculated he’d ride the cart on the course, but in a recent tweet, the legend seems strongly opposed to the idea and says this isn’t some fantasy game.

Tiger Woods claims he’ll never ride the cart for an official game

Tiger once, in an interview after his accident, was asked if he would ride the cart to play in a tournament. He was strongly opposed to the idea and said, “No. Absolutely not.” The 15-time major said he could never do that in an official PGA Tour event. He stated, “Not for a PGA Tour event, no. That’s just not who I am,”

He went on and said, “If I can’t play at that level, I can’t play at that level.” Tiger believes that being able to walk the course shows that you have what it takes. Tiger’s views on that still haven’t changed, and he recently said, “Can’t take a cart. This isn’t fantasy golf.”

The golf world was thrilled with Tiger’s return and even more impressed with his resolve. His fans also understand him well, and agreed with the legend saying never expected him to ride the cart.

Other fans were also concerned about his health and fitness, and didn’t care much for the cart.

Regardless of their views, all the fans are incredibly pleased to have Tiger return.
