I mentioned earlier that Phil Mickelson could, at some point in the future, play the European and PGA Tours as a full-time member of both. Adam Scott and Ernie Els currently do it, although I think any such move would pretty much signal Mickelson has given up any (already remote) shot of catching Tiger Woods.

John Daly, presumably, has less lofty goals than becoming the world's best golfer. For starters, he'd probably like to earn his PGA Tour card. Or maybe not:

Daly, who is without a Tour card in the USA but has a two-year exemption for the European Tour, added: "I would not rule out playing a full season in Europe because there is just so many courses on the PGA Tour where you can't hit driver like you can in Europe."

Ah, yes, because Daly has been crippled by the unfair course set-ups in the U.S. And all this time I thought it had to do with Daly's unwillingness to commit to not sucking. Butch Harmon will no doubt be shocked to hear that it had more to do with the width of the fairways on the PGA Tour than the proximity of Hooters to PGA-sanctioned events.

Seriously, Europe might be a good option for Daly. He seems to play well there, and maybe it'll give him a chance to regain his confidence. Plus, Wednesday Pro-Ams are shirts optional.
