John Daly currently sits #132 on the money having won 479 K in 12 events.  He is playing this week on a sponsors exemption and will have a chance to make top 125 to regain his first full time PGA Tour status since 2006.  There are 4 more events including this week and he is about 108 K behind #125 and will likely need about 200 K more in winnings as some of the guys ahead of him will pick up some checks in the coming weeks.

Are you rooting for him?

Do you think he will make it?

Not rooting for him and dont think he will make it.  Daly has had his chances and screwed it up every time.  I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

I hope that he does well.  David Feherty's interview showed me that he's constantly fighting his demons and hopefully winning this time.  The fact that he self-destructed in the past doesn't take anything away from the fact that he's a two-time major championship winner and a unique personality amongst the seemingly interchangeable average tour pros.  I wish the best for John Daly.

I'm rooting for him. He's a likable guy with his own demons. The tour would benefit from him getting his card & being a regular on the tour as opposed to the occasional sponsors exemption.

1. Yes - I would like to see him continue his recovery.

2. How could I possibly know? I'll wait and see.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I enjoy rooting for Daly because he reminds me of that hard nosed old school blue collar type of guy that you can bs with about crazy things he's done, while smoking a fat stogey, drinking some drink and playing poker all night.

Plus he's entertaining as hell so I will definitely be interested to see him play and hope that he does well.

Last time I saw him play, he wore trousers that played havoc with my TV's contrast settings.

Good luck to the bloke - who knows what is in all of us when life turns to mud.

I don't care much for him, but he is good for the Tour. The one time I was at Augusta, the two largest crowds following players was following Tiger and Daly. He draws fans so it is obvious why he is able to get so many exemptions.

I kind of hope that the guy makes it although I doubt he will. Even if he does it's likely he'll have some sort of meltdown next season.

I have mixed emotions towards him.  He had great talent and wasted it so in that sense I would feel bad for the guy that's worked hard and would be kicked off the tour to make room for Daly.

I also believe in 2nd chances, so if he's really got his act together this time I'd like to see him beat the odds and be successful on the tour.

JD is -7 thru 17 today and is t9 with Watney, Garrigus and a few others at -9, so he has put himself into position to get a nice check.  Not sure what his sponsor invites look like for the rest of the year, but top 10 are automatically eligible for next week.

I do believe that some players have more talent than others and some work harder, but that is really the nature of sports in general.  Nobody would be "kicked off the tour to make room for" him.  Yes, if he plays well and earns a top 125 position, that MIGHT mean someone else has lower status, but not necessarily.  First off, #126 (through 150) have conditional status which gets them into a number of tournaments AND they get to go to Q School Finals with a chance to earn back a full card.  Also, the guy who finishes #126 could actually have higher full status than Daly (assuming he is top 125) a number of different ways including having won a major/Players within the last 5 years, a regular event in 2011, etc.
