While Chapeau Noir never roots against any of his fellow competitors on the links, golf fashion may have just scored an epic win when John Daly announced today that he was 'done' with golf.

For the past year Daly has been wearing Loudmouth Golf, perhaps the most garish and tasteless trousers known to man. While a trouser alone is certainly not reason to root against the two time major championship winner, it didn't exactly make it easy.

Perhaps the anguish Daly had to endure day in and day out as he pulled on Loudmouth's ridiculous trouser range combined with using that 'legal' Ping wedge was, in the end, too much for the great man to bear.

Here's to Daly being serious enough about quitting golf just long enough to put a nail in Loudmouth's coffin, but being away from the game just long enough to realize he can live without it. After all, Daly is an entertainer, a character, and from all accounts a good hearted man despite his life adventures.

Chapeau Noir looks forward to Daly's return - wearing anything but Loudmouth.
