Casey Martin was an American professional golfer with a degenerative leg condition who successfully sued the PGA Tour for the right to use a golf cart under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin (2001) required the Supreme Court to determine the essential nature of golf, with Justice Stevens arguing that walking is not essential to the game — a decision Sandel uses to illustrate Aristotelian teleological reasoning about the purpose of sports.
