John Daly Is, Nay, WAS Stylin' and Profilin' At Hazeltine

by Ryan Ballengee on Aug 13, 2009 2:02 PM EDT

When it comes to golf fashion, John Daly never disappoints in his Loudmouth Golf gear. (I sport them at major championships also. Here's me in them at the US Open.)

Daly not only was making a fashion statement, but also a dietary one. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, his practice round diet consisted of Marlboros and Diet Cokes. Perfect for a guy coming off of a lap band surgery.

UPDATE: Daly has withdrawn from the PGA Championship after shooting +6 (78) , citing a back problem. No more styling or profiling.

H/T to Sportress of Blogitude for the find.

Cigarettes and Diet Coke?

Toss in rice cakes and cocaine and Daly’s well on his way to being a 1980s-era supermodel.

I’m anxiously awaiting the publication of The John Daly Diet System.

Ryan, I would be careful in the future linking

to the Sports Tribune. I had a pop-up on top of a pop-up on top of a pop-up. (and I have a Mac)

I guess JD has to find someone to sue for his back problems and his 51/37=88, like he’s suing that lady, the sponsors and the course for the camera incident at Honda a few years ago. Since he can’t get sponsors, sue some people. Everybody likes the ’All American" boy and people honestly believe he is good for the game of golf. Is golf going to included in the next X-treme Olympics?

He is a joke and an insult to serious players with lesser God given skills that work and practice 80 hours per week just to GET to Q-School.
