Daly: This suit won’t be worth the green

Chalk up another missed green for John Daly. Only in this case, the green he’ll be missing is the nearly $272,000 in legal fees a judge has ordered him to pay after dismissing Daly’s libel suit against the Florida Times-Union.

For the record, the last time Long John won a check that large on the PGA Tour was in October 2005, when he was runner-up to Tiger Woods in the American Express Championship.

The next time you’re trying to defend your honor, John, I’d suggest pistols at 20 paces - or better yet, utility clubs. It’s a lot cheaper.

Elsewhere in golf, Vijay Singh offered to help post bail for Allen Stanford, the moneyman charged with bilking investors out of $7 billion. I realize Vijay has an endorsement deal with Stanford’s company, but - yikes - could the guy be any more tone deaf?

On second thought, I suppose he could. He could have a logo on his bag advertising Bad Newz Kennels.

A federal magistrate barred Singh from making a contribution to the Free the Financier Fund because Vijay hails from Fiji and isn’t a U.S. citizen.

He might not be a U.S. citizen, but as he’s shown with Stanford, he’s pretty good at taking pledges of allegiance.

Good thing Vijay didn’t have any business connections with Bernie Madoff. He might have had him caddy for him this week.

Not that Tiger playing in the pro-am with Tony Romo, quarterback of Washington’s most hated team, is any stroke of public relations genius.
