Good piece by Doyel.  There's really only one way that will either scare Daly sober or hasten the end.  Corporate sponsors, if they really care about John Daly (and I wouldn't bet on it), must end the exemptions.  Sponsor exemptions to John Daly are as destructive to him as weak parents are to a junkie kid.   Daly will either tumble further into the abyss and come to a tragic end, or he will pull his lard up, get himself in shape, and realize what a fool he has been.  Doyel's prediction could happen either way, but at least there is a chance of the latter if exemptions cease.

It is sad to see somebody with such great talent fall like Daly has fallen.  I suppose many can relate to Daly's fall from grace, but it is still hard to watch.  I have witnessed Daly when he was on top of his game, and it was tremendous to watch.  As much as he probably doesn't deserve it....I feel for the guy!  I realize he is the reason for his own demise but what a great talent.

On the money with the sponsor insight.  You don't have to win on the pga tour to make money.  It can distort who's popular from who's actually playing well.  Daly = case in point.

At 42, he's only a handful of years from the senior tour.  If he lives that long & keeps his distance, he'll dominate it the first few years.  Even if he got it back together, you don't see many 40+ year old golfers win big pga events.
