With his crowd-pulling 'grip it and rip it' style and unconventional swing that resulted in huge driving distances, Daly shot to fame with his 1991 U.S. PGA Championship win, followed by his success at the 1995 British Open.

Despite his potential, Daly’s game then fell apart in the midst of four divorces and an alcohol addiction all documented on his first music album in 2010.

Tournament invite exemptions ended as the American toured around with limited success relying on sponsors invites as his world ranking fell to 827 last year.

An ugly row with organizers at an event in Australia which grabbed unwanted headlines added insult to injury.

While Daly acknowledged he remains as capable of shooting an 83 as a 63 he said he was a much calmer figure now.

“The intriguing thing about me is I don't know which John Daly will show up on the golf course,” he told reporters on Tuesday before this week’s Singapore Open.

“But I know it’s a more trying, more dedicated John Daly every day.

“This year particularly I’ve had some horrific rounds and horrific ball-striking rounds, and I’ve hung in there and that’s the thing I wish I had learnt at a young age.

“But I didn’t, I had no one to teach me that. My course management I didn’t learn until I got on tour, a little in college.

“I’m 46 now and I think I’ve learned an awful lot on managing golf courses a little better and picking my poison, whether to go for it or not.
