There will be a legitimate major championship this coming week at Bethpage Black.

We’ll also get a ridiculous sideshow, at least for the first couple of days.

John Daly will rip it up in the PGA Championship — while gripping the wheel of a golf cart.

Yep, the guardians of the game are accommodating a 53-year-old who spent a good part of his life not taking good care of himself and has zero chance of winning.

Newbury: An arthritic knee is an ailment countless people must deal with when they reach their 50s. It’s simply a part of getting older. There’s ample evidence Daly’s lifestyle played a major role in his physical deterioration ... Let’s leave the golf to the real players.
