PGA of America accused of being unfair;  Mark Calcavecchia reveals dark truth after withdrawing from senior major

Is the PGA of America unfair? Veteran golfer Mark Calcavecchia has accused the association of treating him differently and unfairly after he withdrew from the KitchenAid Senior, the second major senior tournament. Calcavecchia expressed his displeasure and disappointment in a tweet that has since generated much discussion and controversy within the sport.

Famous golfer Mark Calcavecchia, who has won several championships and honors, has recently battled serious health issues. “Well the @PGA screwed me. Langer had a cart. Not me. Nothing against Langer. I love this guy. He repaired Achilles and came back too soon. I understand. I repaired the back and knees. No cart for me. What’s the difference @PGA”, Calcavecchia tweeted, pointing out the apparent bias in the PGA’s decisions regarding the use of carts for players with health conditions.

In his tweet, he referenced Bernhard Langer, another senior golfer who just had Achilles surgery and was given permission to use a golf cart. Calcavecchia, who underwent knee and back surgery, did not benefit from the same accommodations.
