Tiger: "The only thing that's been detrimental to the growth and introduction of the game of golf has been the advent of the cart."

Lost in all of the coverage of Tiger's desire to see a time restriction on caller-spotted rules violations was this answer to a question about growing the game for minorities. But there was also this gem about the lowly four-wheeled vehicles dotting the landscape and their impact on caddie programs.

From the transcript:

TIGER WOODS:  I think the game of golf has certainly‑‑ has grown in the minority community, and since I've been on tour, I think that there's been a lot of foundations that have‑‑ and minority golf programs that have sprung up.  I know the First Tee has done a fantastic job of that as well.

The only thing that's been detrimental to the growth and introduction of the game of golf has been the advent of the cart.  People‑‑ minorities aren't introduced to the game of golf through the caddying programs because there aren't really that many caddying programs available now.  So it's a little bit different.
