He's Baaack: John Daly Pick One Interview

There is tremendous excitement in the golfing community about John Daly's return to the PGA Tour. In less than three weeks, Daly will tee up at the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, and hit the U.S. Open Qualifier right before the tournament. In addition to the St. Jude Classic, Daly received a sponsor's exemption to play the Buick Open in July.

JD shares my hatred of airplanes, so I'm sure he will be happy to fire up the bus for some tourneys on his home turf this summer. A media circus is likely to surround JD's return, but don't expect Daly to jump into the center ring: he's here to play golf.

His pants may be loud, but there is a calmness and ease about JD that is very appealing. He has set his sights on winning golf tournaments again and with the help of some close friends—including his girlfriend Anna and coach Rick Smith—he's taking it one step at a time.

In addition to Loudmouth Golf, Daly has a couple new sponsors: All Sport sports drinks and Big Red.

I am thrilled to see JD back and enjoyed watching him hit the links in Europe. He tied for second at the Italian Open and is currently ranked 100th on the European Tour. The top 60 will qualify for the $10 million Dubai World Championship. Daly is focused on this event and will need to play a few more European tournaments to be eligible for Dubai.

JD has reached out to fans on Twitter in a very personal way. People are thrilled to have him back, and the PGA should be pretty pumped too. JD will give the PGA Tour the kick in the pants (no pun intended) that it needs to generate some excitement. Apparently even the mainstream golf media has now come to this conclusion. Something RWG knew all along.

So without further adieu, I present The Lion.
