Rodney Carroll Professor Kunsman Journal Review 4 11/11/14 PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin: 532 US 661 (2001) Casey Martin was a hopeful professional golfer who was diagnosed with Klippel-Trenauanay-Weber Syndrome. That is a degenerative circulatory disease that impairs a person’s ability to walk. Martin brought suit against the PGA Tour, INC under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) after they denied Martin’s request to ride in a gold cart during the PGA’s qualifying events. The issue in the case was whether or not the entrants in the PGA events were part of the class of people that were protected by the statute and if by allowing Martin to employ the use of a golf cart would alter the nature of the event fundamentally.
