John Daly Suspended from American PGA Tour
Two-time Major Winner Faces Six-Month suspension
Thursday, 1 Jan 2009
john Daly, a two-time major winner, has been suspended from the American PGA Tour for six months due to his repeated actions that have brought unwelcome publicity to the tour. Daly, who has struggled with alcohol and gambling problems for years, was arrested in North Carolina in October and spent a night in jail to “sober up.”
Daly’s suspension comes as a result of his ongoing issues with substance abuse and behaviour that has negatively impacted the reputation of the PGA Tour. Despite this setback, Daly is expected to focus on playing more European Tour events in the upcoming year.
In an attempt to regain his form and reputation on the golf course, Daly participated in three events in Australia during November and December but failed to make the cut each time. As he looks towards a fresh start in his career, Daly will need to address his personal struggles off the course while also working on improving his game on it.
The golfing world will be watching closely as John Daly navigates this challenging period and seeks redemption both professionally and personally.
