JD 20/20

If anyone is interested in reading a worthless article that regurgitates John Daly's past troubles, and labels him as a gimmick, feel free:

I find it shameful that golf columnists have to rehash the "holier than thou" party line when it comes to Daly, who is one of golf's best players. Period. He is a multiple major winner who is on the cusp of qualifying for the Tour Championship.

Additionally, JD has a huge heart, and has made multiple donations to charities/individuals, and dedicates a good amount of time to community service. Hell, his chapter in "Who's your Caddie" by Rick Reilly was the only chapter worth reading, a miracle accomplishment.

To bash JD based on incidents that happened over 6 years ago is trite and does not qualify as journalism of merit.
