Daly says he's not retiring from golf
January 30, 2010
John Daly would like to take a mulligan on retirement talk.
A day after missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open and declaring he was "done," with golf the two-time major champion said on his Twitter account talk of retirement was premature.
"Simply sayin I need my time & working through these bad times thank you," Daly wrote.
Daly shot 71 at Torrey Pines and missed the cut by nine shots.
He had been stopped in the parking lot by a crew from Golf Channel, which is filming his reality show,
Daly said in a series of clipped responses, "I'm done. ... I can't compete. ... Just can't play like I used to."
It was the second time in six months Daly has said he was retiring. He threatened to quit after shooting 88 in the Buick Open last summer, although his swing coach attributed that to rapid weight loss. Daly went on to play four more times.
In another Twitter post on Friday Daly added: "To ALL my Fans---my financial situation is putting me where I cannot focus on my game, I'm putting too much pressure on myself."
