Patrick SmithFARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Despite having no realistic chance to win this week, John Daly and his cart have been one of the biggest stories of the 101st PGA Championship. I'm not sure what it says about the sport that an over-the-hill, cigarette-smoking, Diet Coke-slugging, out-of-shape 53-year-old driving around in a roofless cart is such a big draw at Bethpage Black, but it cannot be denied that the people still absolutely love JD.

Why? For all the reasons I just mentioned. Countless New York fans screamed out “THE PEOPLE'S GOLFER!” in Daly's direction on a beautiful, sun-soaked Thursday on Long Island. What they were seeing resembled their own weekend rounds, the only difference being these folks are crushing beers and not an endless amount of DCs when they tee it up. Daly ripping a 3-wood, throwing in a heater and hopping in his buggy is the most relatab..

Stephen LovekinWhile the New York Yankees may be the unofficial team of Seinfeld the show, the Mets—lovable, unpolished losers with a knack for the darkly comedic—embody the true Seinfeld spirit. Thus with the show approaching its 30th anniversary this summer, the Metropolitans have announced a very special Seinfeld Night on July 5th. Here's hoping Kramer doesn't somehow ruin it…
According to the Mets' official press release, Jerry Seinfeld and SNY Mets color man Keith Hernandez—who you may remember from season three's two-episode arc “The Boyfriend,” hilariously culminating in the reconstruction of the “magic loogie”—will finally be reunited for a so-called “Day About Nothing.” The first 25,000 fans through the Flushing turnstiles will receive Seinfeld bobbleheads, while Larry “Soup Nazi” Thomas will be on hand to greet fans on the concourse…provided there's no PDA in his line, of course. The Mets also encourage fans to get their binge on before July, beca..

John Daly is the unofficial king of the PGA Tournament. From his lone Wanamaker in 1991 to 2019, where he has dominated headlines in a manner typically reserved for a guy named Tiger, Big John has cast sizable shadow over the fourth-place major for decades. But if you thought the sight of Daly cruising around Bethpage Black with a McDonald's cup in the cupholder and a dart dangling from his lips on Wednesday was peak Daly, you were dead wrong. On Thursday, Daly showed up for his opening clad in perhaps the boldest style statement in the field this week (Koepka's vertical Nike hat not withstanding). Red Sox fans, you might want to look away.

We don't know whether Daly is a Yankees fan or not. Honestly, he seems more like a Mets guy to us. There's no denying, however, that this is a savvy play by Big John to get those infamously rough n' tumble New York patrons on his side. He pulled the same move at Beller..
