"I will use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges I have faced," he said in a statement. "By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion."

Gretzky, PGA, neither like adverse publicity, neither has had much, if any, adverse publicity. This will not go over well ..... golf is a "purist" sport, with the exception of John Daly, little to no bad publicity.
