Two-time major winner John Daly, emotional in the wake of missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, told a TV interviewer he was "done" with golf.
"I'm done," Daly told the Golf Channel after rounds of 79-71.
"I can't compete. I can't play like I use too. I can't keep taking spots from guys out here playing this bad," added Daly, who has played on sponsors' exemptions since losing his past champion exemption after the 2007 season.
"It's not worth it," Daly said. "I'm tired of embarassing myself in front of (my fans). I can't do it anymore."
It was Daly's second missed cut of the season, after he failed to advance at the Sony Open in Hawaii a fortnight ago.
