O’Brien acknowledges that Daly’s approach to golf has been completely different from any other professional golfer. Daly lets out a laugh at the comment, aware that he is indeed a little unique. They discussed Daly not wanting to exercise, playing his game without wanting to overanalyze his swing.

“Grip it and hit it,” Daly said, indicating that he just goes with the flow.

After discussing his unusual sponsors at the time (Dunkin Donuts, Hooters), the two ended up talking about how Daly is against a dress code in golf.

“I mean, I feel like somebody’s got a thumb in my throat when I wear one of them things,” Daly said while pointing at O’Brien’s tie. “I really do.” When O’Brien asked him about the dress code on his personal golf course, Daly said, “If you wear a tie you’re kicked out.”

Daly even admitted to hating dress codes levied by other golf courses. According to the five-time PGA Tour winner, one simply needs to cover their private parts to be allowed on his golf course.
