John Daly is an unquestionably outstanding golfer. Even though he had ups and downs in his personal and professional life, he worked through them and emerged victorious. Many young golfers follow him for his boldness and attitude. And many follow him for his game of golf. The party animal has influenced many people across the globe. Some worship him, some envy him. And on one of those lists is an American actor.

John Daly reaches the Hollywood

On the envious list is an American actor, Anthony Anderson. He is famously known for his role in the comedy series ‘Black-ish’. The 52-year-old actor picked up golf in his twenties and has not stopped since. And the only golfer he wants to become like is Daly.

During a recent interview with GOLF.com, Anderson spilled the beans on a pro golfer whose skills make him jealous. Although, it is not hatred, but pure love and inspiration. He replied with the senior golfer’s name and revealed the truth by drawing the similarities. The Marlin Boulet fame star said, “I’m going to say John Daly. He is about my body type and a good friend of mine. I wish I had his God-given talent as a golfer.”

It is no surprise. Daly’s exemplary skills can make anyone envy him. He chooses his own path and walks on it boldly, without caring what others would think. And envying such a golfer can only make Anderson work better on his skills. His handicap might also improve. As of now, his lowest has been a 10 or 11. However, currently, the actor’s index is 15. Although, the actor has a busy schedule and does not get much time for golf. But when he does, he plays more to a 20 handicap.

Why does the golf world love the PGA Tour Champion?

Despite being surrounded by many controversies, including his addictions, fans still won’t give up on Daly. They love him with all their hearts. According to Bleacher Report, fans go head over heels for the senior golfer because they connect with him. He does not live his life like a rich, sophisticated celebrity. Instead, his life is normal and open in public. And sometimes, it gets entangled just like his fans’ lives. His brand, “Grip it and Rip It” is also famous among fans. It makes him stand out from the crowd. The love they give him is also reciprocated by him. And the best testament to this fact is his Hooters tent in the Augusta National’s parking lot. Even though he doesn’t play at Masters, the pro golfer always gives his fans a chance to meet him and get autographs.
