Daly Suspension to End in March

John Daly’s suspension from the PGA Tour will end March 10 when he competes in the Honda tournament at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., the PGA Tour said Tuesday.

The four-month suspension was imposed by Commissioner Deane Beman on Nov. 6 after Daly failed to complete pro-am play in the second round of a tournament in Hawaii.

It came on the heels of a series of off-the-course incidents involving Daly, whose personal and professional life has been in turmoil since he became an instant hero with a victory in the 1991 PGA Championship.

Daly, 27, also missed the start of the 1993 season while undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse.

Daly acquired a large gallery following when, as an unheralded rookie, his enormous distance off the tee helped him win the 1991 PGA title at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Ind.
