According to his fans, Daly is aging like fine wine. The golfer is currently 56 years old, and nowhere near retirement. The golfer even wanted to be a part of the LIV Golf league led by Greg Norman. But to his surprise, Norman rejected his appeal to enter the tour. Hence, the golfer continues to play on the PGA Tour. He will be playing on the PGA Tour Champions’ ongoing event, the Sanford International.

But it has been a long time since fans saw Daly play in any tournament. However, it was not long ago when Daly was disqualified from the PGA Tour Champions event in May when he failed to sign his scorecard. There weren’t many details about the incident from the PGA Tour Champions. Moreover, the golfer’s game was also not very good at the event. Daly first made a double-bogey at the par-3 seventh, and then made another double-bogey on the final hole.
