Golf shoe developers came up with a spiked shoe that scares the worms back underground. I'm surprised you've not heard of 'golf spikes'.

Regular maintenance.
Worms like the dead matter of leaves, grass cuttings, thatch, etc.
Keeping the grass short and the greens free of such dead matter reduces the probability of worms.
