Headliner John Daly Brings Big Game to USA Network and Tucson Field, Four Rounds of The Chrysler Classic of Tucson on Tap as USA Network Airs Live Coverage Thursday & Friday, February 26-27 (6 PM ET/6 PM PT); Saturday & Sunday, February 28-29 (11 PM ET/11

WEEK 7 NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- If golf fans are looking for the "story of the year" in the 2004 PGA TOUR season thus far, they have to look no further than USA Network with its four-day coverage of the Chrysler Classic of Tucson (Thurs-Fri., 6 PM Live ET/6 PM PT; Sat.-Sun. 11 PM ET/11 PM PT) as fan-favorite, 1991 PGA Championship, 1995 British Open and 5-time PGA TOUR titleist John Daly travels to the Arizona desert for this week's TOUR stop. The PGA TOUR's leading candidate for 2004 "Comeback Player of the Year," and some might argue "Player of the Year" so far, is burning up the fairways in California and Arizona as he ended an 8 1/2 year winless streak with his spectacular sudden-death victory at the Buick Invitational followed by a solid fourth place finish at Riviera Country Club during the Nissan Open. Last week marked Daly's second top 10 finish of the young 2004 season, something he did not accomplish throughout his 22 starts in the 2003 season. Veteran TOUR pro Peter Jacobsen commented on Daly's resurgence during a recent interview on USA Network: "His talent level is probably greater than anybody's on the PGA TOUR. And that includes players like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. I think John Daly is the most talented player I've ever played with." USA Network is the home of more early-round action than any other broadcast or cable network on television.

Joining Patrick is Phil Blackmar, Jim Nelford, Jim Gallagher Jr. and Mike Hulbert at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort and Spa.
