Athletes Who Went Through Messy Divorces

In 2006, both golfer John Daly and his wife, Sherrie Miller, filed for divorce but ended up staying together, which they may have later regretted. The tense situation was not helped by the fact that Miller was recently released from a short prison sentence for finances tied up in gambling and drug money, according to The Associated Press (via ESPN). The next year, things escalated dramatically when Daley was allegedly attacked by his wife with a steak knife. 

Although when police arrived, Miller was gone with their children, and the supposed weapon could not be found as well. But Daly released the statement, "I filed a complaint with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. They are investigating, and I'll have no further comment on the matter while they pursue their investigation. My only concern at this point is for the safety of my children and myself" (via ESPN).

Regardless of the chaos, the two didn't officially divorce until 2010, but even then, the drama didn't end. The following year, Miller filed a lawsuit claiming that Daley's new girlfriend was responsible for ending their marriage, which was then allowed to proceed in court three years later in 2014, as reported by the Courthouse News Service.
