Volatile John Daly has been suspended (again) from the US PGA Tour for six months, according to multiple reports.
The ban is reportedly for conduct that has brought unwelcome publicity to the tour, including an incident in October when he spent a night in jail in North Carolina sobering up after being taken into custody at a local Hooters restaurant. That led to his photo in the orange jail suit with eyes half closed, which became an internet sensation.
Daly, who is a two-time major championship winner, was previously suspended from the tour in 1992-93. But his career has been dragged down by two trips to alcohol rehab, four marriages, gambling losses and other off-course episodes that have made him a sideshow to some and a cult figure to others.
CBS Sports analyst David Feherty, a recovering alcoholic, said after the North Carolina arrest he hoped Daly would get help. “He’s one of the most generous and one of the kindest souls,” Feherty said. “The stories of his generosity to the people are legendary. The only person he has ever been unkind to is himself.” Did he?
