Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Last weekend saw the European Tour return to the continent of Europe at the Open de Espania. As the Tour touched down in Spain, one player was catching most of the attention from the world's media.
Widely recognised for having one of the most 'colourful' careers in golf, John Daly stepped on to the first tee sporting a striking new look.
Earlier this year Daly was tipping the scales at the 20-stone mark, but following lap-band stomach surgery and a change in lifestyle, he has lost a massive four stone already.
He unveiled his more slim-line shape in Girona, showing off in a pair of eye-catching orange, pink and white harlequin-style trousers and cropped bleached blonde hair.
Never one to do things by halves a pair of bright yellow number followed on Friday.
Daly is serving a six-month ban from the PGA Tour in the US for bringing the tour into disrepute after a number of incidents which have added to a long list of misdemeanours that have plagued him during his life.
He is now hoping that his new look, a change in lifestyle and membership of the European Tour will help him revive his flagging career.
Despite the litany of problems, Daly remains one of the most popular figures in the sport and at this year's Masters at Augusta he wasn't too far away from the action after setting up a stall selling memorabilia in the car park opposite.
The man dubbed 'Wild Thing' early on in his career has seen his ranking slip right down to 788th in the world and he has not held a full tour card since 2006.
He has battled alcohol and gambling addictions, a turbulent personal life which has seen four wives come and go, made and lost several fortunes, and many clashes with both officials and members of the press which have repeatedly landed him in hot water.
Yet, Daly is probably one of the most naturally-gifted golfers in recent memory.
With all of this going on behind the scenes he has done what the majority of players have not, and that is win majors. Not just one either, he followed up his shock 1991 US PGA Championship by achieving possibly the greatest prize of all, winning the Open Championship at St Andrew's, the home of golf in 1995.
In an age where fitness, psychology, preparation and focus are all huge factors in grooming and developing champions, Daly has defied logic by managing to achieve what he has done.
Getting by on an abundance of talent has got him so far, but I wonder what he could have achieved if his lifestyle had been different.
I could have been writing about John Daly the 10-time major champion who has been a major rival to Tiger Woods throughout his career. Instead, we find him picking up pieces of his golf game and trying to revive his career once again.
I sincerely hope he manages to get it right because at the age of 43, time is running out for him to achieve his ambition to win tournaments again.
His booming drives for which he made his name are getting shorter and there will come a time when he will not be the draw for the crowds anymore that his bad boy reputation has given him. He will need to let his golf do the talking.
The story of Daly driving through the night to play after getting a last minute start as a reserve in the 1991 PGA, having no practice round and then thrilling the crowds with some amazing power golf, is stuff of golfing legend and something that he will always be remembered for. Sadly, though, he could also be remembered for all of the non-golf related incidents that have plagued him over the years.
This may be a last chance, a final throw of the dice in an effort to change public perception and get his game back to where it should be.
However, after reading Daly's autobiography and following his career over the years, I doubt he cares too much about people's opinion of him.
This may be too late to change. He just loves playing golf, it is what he is best at, what he was born to do and more than anything else, he desperately wants to win again.
