Casey Martin. He not longer plays on the Tour; I believe he is a golf coach for a university.
he was even a teammate of Tiger Woods at Stanford. He has a circulatory condition in his feet that doesn’t allow him to traverse the course like normal golfers. so he sued the PGA successfully for the right to use a cart. His argument was the cart allowed him an equal chance to compete not an unfair advantage over other golfers.
Casey Martin, who had some sort of leg disorder. I haven’t heard his name in a few years, so I have no idea what he’s up to.
Casey Martin is his name. He’s now the golf coach at the University of Oregon.
Casey Martin. Not playing anymore, coaching..see wikipedia article for more info:
