John Daly is one of the most prominent names in the golf world. He has won only five PGA Tour events and two major championships. However, Daly is still a well-known and fan-favorite name. He was famous for his casual attitude towards golf and life. 

Meanwhile, John got the nickname ‘Long John’ for his incredible ability to hit long shots. There was no one close to him during his heyday. Moreover, he could bomb a 300-yard drive consistently with little stress. Daly once made an unusual revelation and said if the PGA Tour had allowed him to do one thing, he would have won more events.

John Daly believes he played his best golf while drunk

John Daly is well-known for making absurd statements. He recently revealed that he would have won more events on the PGA Tour if they had authorized him to play drunk and barefoot. “If the PGA Tour let me play drunk, I’d win a lot more tournaments. And barefooted. If I could play the tour barefooted, that’d be nice,” said Daly.

John Daly once also revealed his insane diet and lifestyle. ‘Long John’ said he used to drink around 15 diet cokes a day. Daly also said he mostly ate junk food. This amused fans because no other athlete has a lifestyle like him. But the adverse effects of this lifestyle began as John was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Thankfully, it did not get complicated and was treatable. 

His warmup routine since day one of his golfing career has been playing a few one-handed chip shots. He sometimes even smoked before stepping on the first tee. Hence, John believes that if they allowed him to play drunk and barefoot, he would have won a lot more tournaments.

Meanwhile, this statement from Daly attracted many comments from the golfing world. So let us see what the reaction from the golfing world was to this peculiar John Daly statement.
