Daly considers playing European Tour full-time
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 11:08AM ET
John Daly won't be competing in this week's Irish Open but Europe may soon see more of the embattled American as he's considering playing full-time on the European Tour. Daly, who is without a Tour card in the USA but has a two-year exemption for the European Tour, said: "I would not rule out playing a full season in Europe because there is just so many courses on the PGA Tour where you can't hit driver like you can in Europe."

This is a good idea.... Monty has already set the precendent that a guy with moobs and a personality disorder can be successful over there...

Report Offensive CommentNot to mention the buffets. Did I mention the buffets? BTW, the buffets are terrific.

Report Offensive CommentI think the PGA would sponser him to play in Europe and stay out of their hair. I think the game could use a better image than he is willing to participate in. Let him stay over there.

Report Offensive CommentDaly is good for the game. He's not a corporate robot like some of the other players. He's a rebel. The European tour would be good for him. It's a little more laid back over there. He still has two majors and Butch Harmon doesn't.

Report Offensive CommentThe only major you'll see from Daly, in the future, is major gastric bypass surgery..... Europe will be good for him..... Americans are tired if his "rebel" act (if that's what you call it).... it's only cute if you make a cut once in a while... otherwise, it's pathetic....

Report Offensive CommentHe's not a rebel. He's a fat drunk. There's a difference.
And Butch Harmon doesn't have championships? Then neither does Phil Jackson, Joe Torre or Casey Stengel. When the player wins, the coach wins too.

Report Offensive CommentNo Hooters, no buffet-style restaurants, no 24 oz. cans of Keystone Ice. This move makes no sense, J.D. Don't do it!

Report Offensive CommentGreat. What a contribution America is giving the European public.
That's like sending Barnam and Bailey to the Euros. They'll eventually view him like we do and he'll come home to do corporate sponsor outings and other circus events in the U.S. again.
Maybe the Golf Channel idiots can come up with another show for him.

Well said!
Most of Daly's fans are drunken slobs themselves. I've been to a few tournaments where Daly was in the field. As I followed the action I noticed the people who were hooting and hollering for Daly were, almost to a man/woman, stumbling, sloppy drunk - real pigs.

Report Offensive CommentHow can you play golf "full time" and drink "full time"? Two full time jobs! Wow. He's found his inspiration!!

Report Offensive CommentThey have a better version of Hooters over in Blimeyland: Honkers. Daly follows them around like a hound.

Report Offensive CommentButch Harmon, Phil Jackson, Joe Torre, and Casey Stengal are all legends. They are all great coaches. I'm a fan of all of them, but golf is a individual sport. Coach's names don't go on the trophies in golf. Why couldn't Harmon handle the Daly thing in private?
