John Daly has said that he is not quitting golf, despite saying he was 'done' after missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open.

The American two-time major winner has performed a quick U-turn after rounds of 79 and 71 at Torrey Pines in San Diego saw him miss the cut by eight strokes and resulted in him telling the Golf Channel: "I'm done... I can't play like I used to."

However just 24 hours later Daly has used his Twitter page to insist that he will not be retiring from golf after receiving the backing of his sponsors.

He said: "I'm not retired and never said I was retiring.

"The interview caught me after a tough two days and much frustration. All my sponsors want me to continue to play."

Daly added: "I'm going to honour the commitments to the tournaments that have given me sponsors' exemptions and will continue to try and get them this year."
