The piling on John Daly continued, and this time from one of the strongest voices in golf.

Tiger Woods made it be known how he feels about Daly taking a cart for this week’s PGA Championship at Bethpage Black, as the PGA of America granted Daly a waiver under the Americans with Disabilities Act because of a bum knee.

“As far as JD taking a cart,” Woods said Tuesday, “well, I walked with a broken leg. So …”

Of course, Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines with a stress fracture in his left tibia and a partially torn ACL in his knee. That was the most recent of his major championships until he added No. 15 by winning the Masters in April.

Daly got into the field only because he is a defending champion, having won back in 1991 at Crooked Stick after getting in as an alternate. The PGA is allowing him to become the first player to use a cart in a major championship since Casey Martin at the U.S. Open 2012. Martin had a birth defect that limited the circulation to his legs.

Daly, 53, said he recently had the meniscus taken out of his knee, and he also suffers from osteoarthritis, making it difficult to walk down hills.

“Osteoarthritis is a tough thing, brother,” Daly told USA TODAY Sports. “If my knee was broke, I would have had it fixed. But my situation is totally different. It’s painful as hell is all I can say. As was Tiger’s, I’m sure.’’

Kerry Haigh, the chief championships officer for the PGA, said the decision was made after Daly applied for the waiver and it was reviewed by “a committee that meets, which includes a medical expert, and they review the information. It was agreed that it justified the use of a golf cart for the championship.”

A big question is where Daly can drive the cart, as Bethpage Black — a course that doesn’t allow carts for regular play — was swamped by more than 2 inches of rain Monday and Tuesday. Daly hasn’t been seen at the grounds, but he will be restricted on where he can drive when he does get here.

“I will meet with John and just talk through where he can go and can’t go,” Haigh said. “Obviously, there’s some places on this golf course where you can’t get a golf cart to. We try and use common sense, what’s reasonable, what’s fair for the protection both of the player as well as the playing of a major championship.”

Daly had played in seven PGA Tour events in 2018, missing the cut five times and withdrawing once. He played this season in eight Champions Tour events — in which the players, over 50 years old, are allowed to use a cart — and he has two top-10 finishes.

The cart Daly is getting will be topless (no roof), and will be supplied by the PGA. Considering the steep hills that are prominent features of the course, it could prove to be an advantage. There are also massive bunkers the cart obviously can’t go in, as well as large areas of fescue grass that also will be off-limits.

That could actually lead to Daly walking more than he realizes.

“It’s a big ol’ golf course, and you’ve got to be ready for it,” said PGA CEO Seth Waugh. “It’s tackle football, both playing it and walking it.”
