John Daly has been approved to use a cart next week in the PGA Championship because of an injured left knee, it was announced Tuesday.
He will be the first player to ride a cart at a major championship since Casey Martin did it in the 1998 U.S. Open at Olympic Club.
The PGA of America said Daly applied for the cart through its American with Disabilities Act policy and provided information for the medical staff to review.
The former British Open and PGA champion said he has osteoarthritis in his right knee that keeps him from walking a full round.
