    Will John Daly's Drunken Antics Result in His Beloved Hooters Firing Him?

    Last week, John Daly denied initial reports that he had drank himself into a catatonic state at a local Hooters in North Carolina, using the excuse that "he sleeps with his eyes open" and a worried bus driver merely overreacted. After his time in the drunk tank, Daly spoke with Golf.com about the incident, but seemed a little more concerned about the negative publicity Hooters would receive than his own well-being. The reason, as Darren Rovell points out today, is that Daly does have a lucrative endorsement contract with the wing-and-knocker franchise. But is he really in jeopardy of getting de-Hooter'd. Rovell says no: More »

    John Daly Sleeps With His Eyes Open Both Literally and Metaphorically

    Professional golfer/wing inhaler John Daly has finally sobered up enough to speak about his bizarre overnight jail stay from last weekend, after he was allegedly picked up drunk at a North Carolina Hooters restaurant. Daly is frustrated by this latest public spectacle, and feels particularly misunderstood this time around, saying that the whole situation could have been avoided had the friends he was traveling with only known that he was just sleeping with his eyes open and in no need of dire medical assistance.

    John Daly, a North Carolina Hooters, 2:17 a.m -- Guess How This Story Ends?

    Well, hi there, handsome! Here's the latest mugshot of troubled professional golfer John Daly, who is obviously still hellbent on recklessly drinkin' and piggin' himself toward an early grave. Winston-Salem police arrived at a Hooters restaurant early Sunday morning and came upon Daly being "intoxicated and uncooperative" after workers asked him to leave. Daly, who had no means of transportation because he arrived at the restaurant as part of a touring group, was sent to the drunk tank for a 24-hour sober up. More »

    The PGA Championship Is Off and Running

    The first players are finishing their rounds at Oakland Hills Country Club outside of Detroit. Somewhere on his island kingdom in Florida Tiger Woods is not even bothering to watch. Meanwhile golf fans who are stuck at their desks would do anything to be able to skip out of work and listen to the dulcet tones of Ernie Johnson and Benjamin Franklin/Verne Lundquist on TNT. So far two people you've never heard of are in the clubhouse at -2, Robert Karlsson and Jeev Mikha Singh. More »

    John Daly: Corrupting America's Youth Since 1985

    We all have those stories about the first time we got drunk. Most of the time they're amusing and revelatory, told with a big fish-style exaggeration that gets exponentially larger throughout the years. Or, if you're an alcoholic, probably less. The first time I got smashed it was the night before the PSATs back in 1991. I was 15. I left after school to go over my friend Kevin's house with an SAT study guide, four pencils, and a scientific calculator. I came home at about 9 p.m. that night with a fork, a copy of Good Housekeeping, and throwing up on my mother's shoe. (PSAT score: 740.) That's a good first-time-I-got-drunk-story, but John Cloud, of Time magazine, has an epic one: More »

    John Daly Is Just A Victim Of Circumstance!

    From AP: "John Daly woke up Wednesday morning to read that swing coach Butch Harmon fired him. Then he got a phone call when he was at the entrance to Bay Hill letting him know he had been kicked out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational for missing the pro-am." Wait, that sentence is wrong. It should have read: More »
