PEBBLE BEACH, California – John Daly is going multi-media. He now has a TV built into his golf bag. But it's not so that he can keep up with the latest shows, etc. Well, not yet!
No, Daly has signed up with ProBagAds.com, a new company that installs flat-screen monitors on a golf bag to display advertisements, much like an electronic billboard.
The screen rotates with Daly’s various sponsors.
Big John says it only weighs about 3lb, so it’s not a big strain on his caddie. And while it looks like a TV, Daly says he’s trying to make it work like one. He says he will be able to programme it through his mobile phone, and he hopes to get his home television programming on there.
Daly says when he plays golf overseas, he wants to have something to watch on TV – especially during the American (grid-iron) football season.
Kyeong Bae first used the built-in monitor last year on the LPGA Tour.
