Daily Dumbass, Honorable Mention: Brian Davis

Davis gave up his first career PGA tour win (and cost himself $400,000) when he called a penalty on himself during a playoff in Sunday’s Verizon Heritage tournament. He hit a piece of grass on his backswing, which is apparently a two-stroke penalty. Go figure. Davis easily could have gotten away with it. No one else noticed, but Davis said “I could not have lived with myself.” Got to give him props for his honesty I guess, but $400,000 certainly would have been enough to buy my conscience.

Jack Nicklaus: Tell me something I don't know.

Jack Nicklaus was interviewied by ESPN today and had the following comments on when Tiger Woods would appear in his first PGA golf event since the sex parade scandal broke out.

“I suspect he'll play something before Augusta. Your guess is as good as mine. I would be very surprised if he didn't play something before Augusta.

Before I comment on Jack I just want to say one thing. I completely agree. Tiger will be back at or before the Masters.

I just want to say one thing. The coordinators of the Masters do not want Tiger to show. The Masters is the last great sporting event that focuses on the actual venue. Everyone cares about Augusta. There is never a circus at Augusta. The players appreciate the course and make the tournament about the course. It's all about the green jacket and who wins it. That's why people watch. The tournament directors know this. They want to continue this tradition. If Tiger decides to return they realize it will ruin the tradition. The tournament will become about Tiger and not the "Masters." However, if he wants to come back they can't tell him now because he'll pull ratings.

As much as that sucks for them. It's going to happen. Tiger will be back for the Masters. He'll be back. He's not going to miss a major. He needs to play as many majors so he can catch Jack. Regardless of what the directors say Tiger is the sport. Not the masters. Not Augusta.

Anyway, on to Jack's comments.

Why does Jack need to even mention this. The whole fucking world knows Tiger will be at the Masters. Everyone knows he'll play one or two events before for a warm up. He's not an idiot. He's going to play an event or two to get ready and quite honestly there's a chance he wins one of those events plus the Masters. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he won every event he entered this year just so he could say fuck you to all his doubters. He's simply the best and that's what the best does.

Quick thought: If Tiger comes back what do you think the odds will be that he wins the Masters? I bet he'll be the odds on favorite.

Exactly. Enough said. He's the best and will continue to be the best.

No matter where he fucking plays and who he decides to fuck.

John Daly: Underwear Model?

John Daly has a new endorsement deal to go with those outrageously loud pants.

He also will be hawking underwear.

Slix, an online company that began four months ago, says the two-time major winner will endorse its line of Slix Closer boxer briefs. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Daly has lost over 100 pounds after lap-band surgery a year ago. He no longer has his PGA Tour card, but has played four times this year and made his first cut last week in Mexico, before shooting 81 in the last round.

We all know that Tiger Woods has an image problem. Well, John Daly has just given the rest of the golf world an image problem too. As in an image that will problematically stick in everyone’s mind. Yikes.

Tough couple of months for the PGA, huh? First, the number 1 golfer in the world (and PGA Tour cash cow) turns out to be a man-whore. Now, golf’s biggest bad boy is gonna be strutting his fat ass around in his underwear. I wish this were a joke.
