You make the call...
Let's say you are a tournament functionary and you have the ability to grant John Daly an exemption to play in your event.

Do you?

discuss.

Re: You make the call...
I voted yes, he seems to have cleaned his act up, is saying all the right things. As long as he keeps his $hit together and the most embarrassing thing he does is wear Loudmouth Golf pants, I say invite him. He is a huge drawing card and is playing good golf right now.

He seems to understand this is his last chance, knows he has wasted years of his natural talent. I for one have my fingers crossed he will keep his $hit together this time. But I'm not holding my breath.

I have never been a fan of Daly's, but I agree completely with Wirehair.

I'll play devil's advocate here. The man's a multiple addict, and letting him play before we're sure he's sober for good is just enabling him.

Re: You make the call...
Good point Claire.
My view is that there is no such thing as bad press. The fans love him and he would be a draw, no doubt about it. The corporate people have a different view it seems.

Thumbs up Re: You make the call...
I don't see how you don't put this guy in... he's a draw, he's obviously attemmpting to turn over a new leaf, and he boosts any draw. I happen to like him, but even if you don't, nobody can deny that he's going to be a draw; moreso than a lot of the top players in the world.

Re: You make the call...
Depends who else is in the field. If I already have Tiger, I will take a pass on JD. If Tiger is not playing, then I will need a draw to sell tickets and JD would be invited.
