PGA Tour Inc. vs. Martin: The Supreme Court case that defined what golf is.

In this episode of Derek and the Supremes, we break down the golf, the grit, and the Supreme Court ruling that reshaped sports law. Before he stood before the Supreme Court of the United States, Casey Martin was a golf prodigy — 17 Oregon junior titles by age 15, a Stanford scholarship, three-time All-Pac-10 selection, and part of a national championship team. He even redshirted alongside his best friend Notah Begay III to play one more season with a freshman named Tiger Woods. But a degenerative leg condition would push his career into a different arena — a courtroom battle with the PGA Tour that became the landmark case PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin.
