John Daly Opens Up on Golfing Experience With a Former POTUS: ‘It’s Funny, Literally He’d Carry a Lot of Golf Balls in His Pocket’
John Daly is making the headlines after winning the 2021 PNC Championship. His performance at the father-son/daughter event proved that he has still got the shots. Moreover, Daly’s specialty is driving distance off the tee; people gave “Long John” as his nickname. But driving distance is not the only specialty he has.
Daly is widely popular for playing golf with celebrities as he has played games with four former Presidents of America.
In an interview, Daly discussed how former President Bill Clinton plays golf. He said, “It’s like every time he’d hit one, he wouldn’t look at it; He’d already thrown another ball down.”
He further added, “it’s funny, literally he’d carry a lot of golf balls in his pocket.” John explained that the former President doesn’t play to win, but he plays since he loves the game.
John Daly ranked from best to worst former US Presidents
Daly has played golf with four of the former presidents of the United States; George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Since he has played with all four of them, Daly knows how good they are in the game. According to him, Bush sr. is the best among all.

He said, “Bush Sr. was probably the best that I played with.” Although he thinks Trump and George W. Bush are talented players, but they are not as good as Bush sr.
Although he couldn’t decide the middle order between Trump and Bush Jr., Daly sure had a clear idea of who held the last place. He said, “Clinton couldn’t play at all.”

Daly is one of the best golfers in the United States of America. But since he doesn’t have any major wins under his name, many find him a mediocre player. But the recent events have changed the perspective of people; Daly and his son won over Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods.
At the 2021 PNC Championship, despite scoring 11 consecutive birdies, the Woods’ couldn’t win over John Daly and Joh Daly II; the Daly-duo scored 27 under, which is the lowest in the tournament’s history. The tournament recorded 2.3 million viewers, which is 200,000 more than that of the Open Championship.
