Daly, new girlfriend ready for comeback?

He also is close to returning to the PGA Tour after a six-month top-secret suspension, which is nearing its end, following an arrest for "extreme intoxication." There has been speculation that Daly would return next month and play at Colonial, but he said in a radio interview this week that he might wait until the Memphis stop in June, the week before the U.S. Open. The former PGA and British Open champion has slipped to No. 787 in the world rankings, right behind Zaw Moe, that megastar from Myanmar. For the first time as a pro, Daly has no sponsors and has limited tour status as a former champion, which is one of the lowest exemption categories. Now, he's shedding weight on a high-protein diet and, no, he says it isn't in the form of high-protein Budweiser. Daly, who turns 43 next week, claims that he drinks "very little" these days. His new girlfriend, former Hooters girl Anna Cladakis, told the Associated Press that being embraced by Masters fans was a heartwarming experience for Long John. It seems that he will always have that going for him, which is nice.

when is this sad tale going to end. Seems like every Daly bimbo has "former Hooters girl" listed after it. It's a shame when so much talent is wasted.

Gawd this reminds me of Adam Sandlers movie umm the one with the Hooters girl where he was a want-a-be dad. Anyway, I feel for Daly. His compulsive nature has cost him so much, if only he look at golf itself as a compulsion like Tiger does. I bet if Daly was half as dedicated as Tiger Daly would be in the top 10 on the rankings. Shame.....

I predict that Daly will come back and win another major.

Where do you get these former Hooters girls from? Can you order one? I could use one.

Going to keep my fingers crossed for Daly. Hopefully he cleans himself up. For his life first, and for his golf game second.

I just saw your racist rant on the other golf thread: Try the NASCAR threads.

This isn't the NFL, 43 isn't that old. The guy has made millions of dollars hitting a ball into a hole, I hardly pity him, or think he regrets his life choices. I am sure he'll make a comeback if he wants to, he has the talent. Good luck to him.

They are called "former hooters girls" because you cant work for Hooters after you have gained about 50 pounds around the mid section and all of you teeth have fallen out

Daly is the best 19th hole player in the game today! Go Daly!

He's dating a former Hooters girl? Not surprising. I hope he's able to get his life back together and takes better care of himself.

John Daly: 2 oz flavored vodka, 3 oz lemonade, 3 oz iced tea. garnish with a lemon and enjoy on a hot summer's day.

She was a calendar girl, major marketing piece before she began drinking and went heavy on the wings. She recently dropped 40 pounds by only eating a few and using light bluecheese for dipping. You can get a signed calendar at the stand set up a few blocks down from the next PGA outing. It's there at the John Daly tour bus.

I can't wait to meet the future ex-Mrs Daly!

I hear she is so different from the other three - or is it four?
