John Daly’s pink pants have a better day at Valhalla than ‘91 PGA champ or Tiger Woods

John Daly gets off to a tough start at the PGA Championship but his pants have no quit in them.

John Daly, if recent history is any indication, probably won’t make the cut at this week’s PGA Championship, but his sartorially splendid pink checkered Loudmouth pants made their usual flashy entrance.

Daly, whose trousers enjoyed the long-drive contest far more than Bubba Watson did, started out with five bogeys in his first six holes but two birdies on the back nine had him tied with Tiger Woods at 3-over for the day. The two former PGA champs shared a laugh in the parking lot -- sight of Tiger’s spectacular, if potentially short-lived, return to competitive golf on Wednesday -- before each drove away.

The 1991 PGA champ also made quite the statement in paisley at the Champions Dinner at Churchill Downs Tuesday night.

Can’t wait to see what colorful couture Daly shows up in on Friday. He’ll tee off on No. 10 at 1:40 p.m. ET with Mark Brooks and Rich Beem.
