Good post. Compared to today's hitters, John's soft hands and easy stroke stands out. He claims he played his best golf drunk, just like he shot his best pool drunk. What an original. What a life. He lost $55 million gambling over the years. And his father was a violent asshole who beat him for the hell of it when he was kid.

I'm curious where the hell he got 55 million dollars to begin with. Golf back then wasn't the payday it is now. Pretty sure his PGA championship only got him 200k.

Crazy to think he was the ninth alternate to get into this tournament and he didn’t know he was playing for sure until the morning of the first round. Drove himself overnight to get there. Then he does this. No practice rounds. On the course Nicklaus declared the most difficult he’d ever played after three practice rounds of his own. Absolutely wild.

In a parallel world, John Daly becomes a golf superstar, becomes #1 in the world, wins several majors and several dozen tournaments, and lives happily ever after with his wife Betty (pictured at the end). The stuff fairy tales are made of, but he had a lot of people believing in him that week... it was truly a magical moment in golf.

Very likely the sweetest, most powerful, elegant and in-control golf-swing there ever was. This was a thing of beauty. Grateful I got to watch it. Tragic shame Daley found booze and women. God made him for the game of golf. What a thing of wonder to watch. 170 yard pitching wedge? What? Insane. The putting, too. Masterful. And this was over four rounds with the world watching. If Daley had Tiger's dad....who friggin knows. We still love you, John.

the greatest major ever. Notice how the announcers dont know who is is!!! "boy, does he play fast!". The announcers have no idea who this guy is. He just came out of nowhere and crushed the competition with his terminator sunglasses, cigarettes, and a driver made from a miraculous substance from space called "kevlar". There will never, ever, ever be another Jon Daly.

Very few people know the rest of the John Daly story from this miracle weekend for him and most tragic for one family. A storm rolled through Carmel, Indiana, during the first round of the 1991 PGA Championship, requiring tournament officials to evacuate the course. Spectator Tom Weaver was walking to his car when a bolt of lightning struck him in the chest, killing the 39-year-old fan. He left behind a wife, Dee, and two pre-teen daughters, Emily and Karen. Days after his breakthrough victory, Daly wrote a check for $30,000 and sent it to Dee Weaver, asking her to set up a college fund for her daughters. The gesture surfaced publicly long after the fact. “For him to win this iconic tournament and to be so selfless and share his winnings with us, it does shed a light on his true character and what he values most,”
