Here are the requirements for golf cart tires on the championship courses:

The manufacturer of the tire must refer to the tire as a "golf course tire".
The tire must have a rounded vertical tread with a maximum depth of ΒΌ inch.
The total width must be a minimum of 8 inches.
The tire pressure must not exceed 28 psi.

These rules do not apply to the executive courses because you can only drive on the cart paths.
