John Daly gets second shot at a reality show.

In 2006 The Golf Channel aired a 13-part series “The Daly Planet” that featured John Daly's wild and crazy lifestyle.

The much more focused Daly made his return to the PGA Tour earlier this year after his second suspension for his untamed conduct and told The Associated Press “I’m more laid back,”.

Golf Channel senior producer Al Pollock said “He’s a different person,” and “This show will not be as crazy as the last show. But it’s going to show a different side—the real side—of John Daly. He’s lived through a lot of peaks and valleys. Now, he’s got his stuff together."

“I’m practicing a lot and I’m working hard, but it’s not paying off yet,” - “I’m real frustrated with my putting.” Daly said.

Pollock has known Daly since 1994 and has been with him on site during filming of the upcoming show which has yet to been named.

“I think ‘Out of the Rough’ is the perfect title,” Daly said.


Daly said Wednesday an upcoming reality show on the Golf Channel, featuring him, will provide a glimpse of his new-and-improved boring life.

“I’m more laid back,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press between puffs of a cigarette in the parking lot of Warwick Hills, the site of this week’s Buick Open. “It won’t have the hustle and bustle as the last show.”

The first of at least eight episodes of the yet-to-be-named reality show will air in early 2010.

Daly said, “I think ‘Out of the Rough’ is the perfect title,”.

“I’m still having fun, but I’m more serious,” Daly said. “I’m finally the guy so many people have wanted me to be for so many years.”
