Professional golfer John Daly currently plays on the PGA Tour. He won the PGA Rookie of the Year award and PGA Championship in 1991 as well as the British Open in 1995. Despite not having success in recent years, and being suspended from the PGA for six months between December 2008 and May 2009, Daly is still one of the more popular golfers on the tour.
As the end of his suspension neared, a newly-slimmed down Daly played golf in European venues, including finishing the Italian Open tied for second behind Daniel Vancsik, on May 10, 2009.Media Hangout: John Daly Suspension (May 10, 2009)
