John Daly, who signed a $10 million endorsement deal with Wilson after winning the PGA Championship in 1991, was dropped by the equipment company on Monday, his 31st birthday and a month after a drunken spree at the Players Championship.

“Through all of his trials and tribulations, Wilson has always stood behind John,” said Jeff Harmet, director of marketing for Wilson Golf.

“This was by no means an easy decision. But after reassessing our relationship, we have decided to bring our relationship to a close.”
