John Daly says he has been suspended for six months by the PGA Tour for conduct that included spending a night in a jail to sober up.

Daly told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his suspension is “not fair in reality, but it’s probably fair in perception.”

The two-time major champion has not played on the tour since he missed the cut Oct. 17 in Las Vegas. Ten days later, police in North Carolina said he appeared intoxicated outside a Hooters restaurant. He was taken to jail to sleep it off.
