In his latest attempt at cleaning up his image, popular golfer John Daly, known more for his off-the-course antics than his actual golf game, is set to star in an upcoming reality series on the Golf Channel. Daly was previously showcased in a 13-part series shown on the same channel, aptly titled “The Daly Planet.” This current venture into reality television is set to focus on Daly’s new and improved “clean” lifestyle, as camera crews will follow him during his day to day life.

Much of Daly’s popularity is linked to his hard-drinking, fast-living, everyman quality. He’s been married thrice, been to rehab for alcoholism twice, and has only recently been reinstated on the PGA tour after a six month suspension. But all that is in the past, says Daly, now 81 pounds lighter. With the weight off, and the alcohol history (for now), Daly looks to improve on his golf game, in an attempt to rekindle some of the magic of his two major victories.
To get an idea of what Daly’s new show will be like, the day before this week’s Buick Open, a camera crew followed the popular pro around as he a) recorded a song he wrote at Kid Rock’s studio, and b) ironed the hideous pants he would wear at Warwick Hills.
Exciting stuff to say the least.
