John Daly makes his seventh start of the PGA TOUR season at the RBC Heritage this week.
Because this is an invitational, there is a grandfathered provision that Daly is allowed entry into the tournament dating back to his PGA Championship at Crooked Stick way back in 1991. Others qualifying under a similar criteria that also extends to U.S. Open winners are Ernie Els and Vijay Singh. Daly has made two (of six) cuts this season with a T50 in Puerto Rico the best. That week, he turned in 70 or better in all four of his rounds. Apr 17 - 9:39 PM

John Daly is set to tackle Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in the Tampa Bay Championship.

Daly's form is about as good as you will find these days, having played four rounds under par in Puerto Rico last week and sharing 50th. He's teed it up in Tampa seven times, with two withdrawals, three missed cuts and two finishes outside the top 50. Even with his week in Puerto Rico, that's not a great formula for confidence this week.

John Daly's 2013 PGA TOUR season will continue at the Farmers Insurance Open.

A conditionally exempt PGA TOUR member via his past wins, the bomber will make his second start of the year after finishing 74th at the Sony Open. That week started well, but a third-round 79 erased any momentum he captured in the first two rounds. In 15 previous stops at Torrey Pines, he's made one more cut than he missed including one of his five TOUR wins.

John Daly suffered through a 15-over-par 44-42=86 in the third round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to fall out of the top 10 and land in last at 5-over 218.

Daly has put together a solid season in his limited opportunities in 2012, so this debacle actually comes as a surprise. In his trek around TPC Summerlin, he swallowed a quadruple bogey, a triple bogey, two double bogeys, six bogeys and settled for six pars, while circling two birdies. He landed eight GIR and needed 34 putts to a 2.125 average, giving back 4.807 strokes to the field with the flat stick. He looks to try and right the ship in Sunday's finale in an effort to build momentum for future events rather than have the stench of an 86 linger.

John Daly throttled TPC Summerlin for a 8-under-par 30-33=63 in his second round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Daly begins the Fall Series ranked 132nd on the money list, an impressive spot considering he's made just 12 starts prior to this week. He hadn't gone this low on the PGA TOUR since a second-round 63 in this event in 2007, also at TPC Summerlin. In today's loop, he hit 13 greens in regulation and buried an eagle and eight birdies to reach the midpoint in 10-under 132, four strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse lead. His eagle disappeared from just 10'7" at the par-5 ninth hole, but his most impressive conversion occurred at the par-4 fourth where he holed out for birdie from 19 yards in front of the green. He also rolled in a pair of par saves from beyond 10 feet. It's hard to believe but he's taken just 49 putts through 36 holes (24 GIR).

John Daly opened the 94th edition of the PGA Championship with a 4-under-par 34-34=68, finishing one stroke off the pace of the clubhouse co-leaders.

As you know by now, the 46-year-old has been creeping back into our consciousness, but in a good way. He's recorded three top 25s in 10 starts on the PGA TOUR this year, including last week's T5 in Reno, his first top five since October 2005. At Kiawah Island today, he was bogey-free 4-under through 11 holes thanks in part to an eagle at the par-5 11th hole. He'd come home exchanging two bogeys with two birdies. In his 19 appearances at this major since his breakthrough at Crooked Stick in 1991, he's cashed only five times, none of which for a top 25.

John Daly added 5 points to his total in the final round of the Reno-Tahoe Open to finish the week with 33 points, recording his first top five since the 2005 WGC-American Express Championship.

Daly circled four birdies and gave back three bogeys in a round where he landed 15 GIR. The irons were the key to his solid week, as he was tied for the lead in GIR at the time of his posting with 73.6 perent. The putter held him back, as his 32 putts added up to a 1.867 average in his last lap around Montreux Golf & Country Club. This finish earns him a spot in the Wyndham Championship. He is already in the PGA Championship by virtue of his 1991 victory at Crooked Stick.

John Daly added 9 points in the third round of the Reno-Tahoe Open to improve his 54-hole total to 28.

The Modified Stableford format works perfectly for Daly, as he circled an eagle and four birdies to go along with four bogeys. He needed 26 putts to a 1.545 average to tour Montreux Golf & Country Club. He will try and close the deal on his sixth TOUR win and first since 2004 in Sunday's finale.

John Daly added 9 points in his second round of the Reno-Tahoe Open to reach the midpoint with 19.

The veteran hit 13 greens at Montreux today and curled in seven birdies, closing 3 points back of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders. While he swallowed two bogeys and a double in the second round, when he signed his scorecard, he co-led the field with 13 birdies.

John Daly enters TPC Deere Run on a high note, and hopes to make the John Deere Classic his first win since the 2004 Buick Invitational.

Daly has quietly put together a steady season when given the opportunity. He has notched five cuts in six tries with his T12 at last week's The Greenbrier Classic the best. He missed the cut in the 2011 version of the John Deere, but he's gaining .725 strokes per round on the field. Rolling the rock like that could prove to be the key this week.

John Daly spun a final-round 6-under-par 33-31=64 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic to claim the honors of low round of the day.

Teeing off on the 10th, Daly circled an eagle and five birdies, while swallowing a lone bogey. While he only found five (of 14) fairways, it didn't stop him from landing 13 GIR and putting to a 1.615 average. He finished the week at 3-under 277 and inside the top 20. This will be his first top 20 on the PGA TOUR since his T9 at the 2011 Canadian Open.

John Daly is in the field at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

It's easy to think of JD as a bit of a sideshow, but he's managed to make the cut in two of his three starts in 2012. He also has more rounds in the 60s (two) than he does the 80s (one). Surprisingly, were he to have enough rounds to qualify, he would rank 65th in driving accuracy.

John Daly has been added to the published field of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

In a rare occurrence for a Tuesday, Daly was given a sponsor exemption because he's replacing Boo Weekley, who originally received it. Daly is 2-for-2 on the PGA TOUR this year but hasn't cracked a top 50.

John Daly rode a roller coaster of five birdies and four bogeys in the third round of the Transitions Championship to end up at 1-under-par 37-33=70.

Daly's 2-under 69-72-70=211 is due entirely to his putting. His total putting stat for the week is 1.50, but he has only hit 44.4 percent of his GIR and 38.5 percent of his fairways. This is Daly's first PGA TOUR start of 2012, and there is probably no reason to consider him in any fantasy capacity unless he strings together some consistent tournaments.
