John Daly Reveals the Proudest Moment of His Golf Career

The PNC Championship 2021 was a must-watch event in golf history. The winning pair John Daly and his son John Daly II creating records, Tiger Woods’s comeback after a major car accident; spectators had a lot to take in from the championship.

After winning the championship, in an interview with Full Send Podcast, Daly revealed his most favorite moment in his entire golf career.

Daly was the clear winner by the end of the championship; however, Rocca flipped the game and pulled them into a play-off. Although Rocca pulled a playoff, Daly was too good for him; John Daly won by four strokes in a four-hole playoff.

Although the win seemed simple for the spectators, there were a lot of mind games happening behind the scene. In an interview, John Daly revealed he was offered a huge amount of money to “tank” the British Open.

According to John, many people offered him money; however, he declined it as he thinks it is not ethical for a golf player to accept such things. He said, “In the year I won, one guy said ‘look if you tank it, I’ll give you a million bucks.’ I said ‘go f*** yourself, no way.”
