In an absolutely unbelieveable interview that aired today on Golf Channel, John Daly, winner of the 1991 PGA Championship and 1995 British Open says he is done with professional golf. From the interview:
Q: What’s next?
A: I’m done.
Q:What do you mean you’re done?
A: I’m done.
Q: Done with what?
A: Golf.
Q: You’re not going to tee it up anymore?
A: No.
Q: Why?
A: I can’t compete.
Q: Do you honestly feel that?
A: Yeah.
