John Daly's tweeting of journalist Garry Smits' cell phone number has to be one of the most unethical moves I have ever seen a golfer pull on a journalist. If you aren't familiar with the story, click here.
Bottom line: Smits' and his team at the Times-Union did their jobs as journalists. They had to honestly present the facts for the article they were writing.
And that is why I have so much respect for what The Golf Writers Association of America has done--asking the PGA Tour to discipline Daly for his actions.
As journalists, we are committed to the truth. Let's hope the Tour does the right thing--protect our journalists from future harm so that they can inform citizens to their fullest.
