John Daly- back on Tour full time?

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.

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.

yes

TBD

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.

absolutely...............i like guys who play golf, not golf swing. The tour is filled with beautiful swings with healthy young over acheivers......one for the sinners, please.

I like him. I'd love to play his course "The Lions Den" in Dardenelle, AR.

Will he make the 125? Not sure, but I really hope so. Go JD!

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 like him and i think hes good for golf. hope he pulls it off
 

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.
