Come to terms? Yeah, that must be why he got into a fight with his wife and got his face raked.

His drunk loser will fall off the wagon again. I just hope he does it on the golf course so we can all have a big laugh at it like he deserves.

Yeah, I'd be lucky to live a life where I got admitted to the Betty Ford clinic 3 times. If only I was that big of a waste on society.

I just hope he provides as much amusement after his career ends as he does now.

Yeah, if all of us could be drunk, gambling fools, this would be Utopia.

Because he's won majors??? I'm not sure how winning majors relates to good character.

Gambling is relevant. If you have 50 mil, losing 400g in a night isnt that big a deal. His kids love him and he loves his kids. Honestly, I have no idea what happened between he and his wife this week but i don't care. You'd be lucky have JD's life. In fact, I'd go as far as saying you harbour a bit of jealousy towards JD.

Yeah, like I said, I've always wanted to visit the Betty Ford clinic.

Maybe since you like him so much, you should do some research on him before making laughably incorrect statements.

In 2006, Daly revealed in the last chapter of his autobiography that he has had great difficulty with a gambling problem.[2] He claims to have lost between $50 and $60 million dollars(US) over the past 15 years. This includes losing $1.5 million in October 2005, after winning half that amount at the WGC-American Express tournament, most of it lost on $5,000 Las Vegas slot machines.[5] Daly has been able to pay his gambling debts mostly through making more paid public appearances and through sponsorships opportunities.

When you have an addiction, it's relevant.

Tibs, I know all this. If there is one thing I can claim expertise on, its golf. I'll never start an argument with you about doctorbs. I've read his book, I've followed his career. I took offense when you attacked him, as if he is an awful person. In my book, if you are loyal to your friends, are a good father and are lucky enough to have a successful career I'm happy for you.

Sushi, I never said winning majors means you have character. However, JD had good character.

If you've read his book why do you claim "If you have 50 mil, losing 400g in a night isnt that big a deal" when it's obvious the fatass has lost more than that...often....

How good of a father will he be to his children when he's dying of cirrhosis at 50?

He won the WGC (over 1 mil) went to vegas and lost it all that night. Big [censored]ing deal when you're making hundreds of thousands per month on endoursements.

Yeah, I'm sure the kids are happy their Dad is squandering their inheritance like that. Oh, but he's such a great Dad!!! He even takes them to the casino with him!

every dollar any parent spends is technically part of their kid's inheritance. Where do you think that bumber sticker for RV's came from? You can do better than that.

Is it the kids money? I laugh at people who think THEY DESERVE any money from their parents death, that is pathetic.

This is one of the most asinine statements I've ever read.

The dude's sponsors are like Hooters and 84 Lumber.

The guy is a pathetic waste of talent.

He's had multitude of legal trouble's and just b/c he's good to his kids doesn't a good person make.

Count me among those who admire nothing about John Daly.
