"Daly the golfer ought to consider making it a onetime deal this year on the PGA Tour and sticking to Europe."

Interesting take on John Daly's acceptance of an exemption to the Memphis event by Bob Harig. It's a view that will be especially interesting in a few months to look back on if he tries to get a few spots in America, or if, as Harig advocates, Daly spends much of his summer in Europe rebuilding his confidence.

Why? Because that is where he has a better shot at success, where he could gain some confidence, make money and be productive.

The chances of that on the PGA Tour, where he has to rely on sponsors' exemptions, are remote. Daly has not earned enough money in each of the past three years to retain playing privileges. But he'll do it this year starting his season in June?

And to his credit, Daly seems to recognize this.

"I don't really have any goals at home now because I'm so far behind," Daly said last week in England, where he played in the BMW Championship at Wentworth and tied for 72nd. "I'm kind of a little far behind here, but I feel like I could maybe make a move and maybe get in the Race to Dubai here. So I definitely will try and get some tournaments in the States, but there's no way I'm going to get 15 in.

"All I know is there's two or three exemptions I know I'm getting right now. The Fall Series, you never know. So I want to go. If I get into Memphis, I would like to play Memphis, but after that, I don't know what I'm going to do."
