According to sources, Daly has been married four times. His first wife, model Dale Crafton, apparently met Daly when he was in college. She came from a wealthy family and married the PGA Tour star in 1987. Their marriage did not last long, and the couple divorced in 1990.

Daly’s second marriage turned out to be slightly messier. He met Bettye Fulford shortly after parting with Crafton, and when he was entering the PGA Tour. Unfortunately, things didn’t workout, and controversies were on the rise, as the couple tried to continue their relationship but things ended on a sour note.

His third wife, Paulette Dean, met him when he was on a break. They got married swiftly, and even share a child together.

Daly’s fourth wife was Sherrie Miller, with whom he had a son together. Unfortunately, Daly accused her of attacking him with a steak knife at a restaurant. Later, the couple filed for a divorced and parted ways.

Is Daly engaged or married again?

After four marriages, Daly has been in a committed relationship since 2007. He met Anna Cladakis when he was still jumbled up with Miller, following which the couple took things at their own pace.  “She’s probably the most positive human being I’ve ever been around,” Daly said in an interview.

This probably proves why this relationship was a bit more serious for Daly and seems to have withheld the test of time. The couple is engaged since 2014 and is often seen together. Cladakis has her own private Instagram account and seems to have supported Daly through his health issues and recoveries over the years.

With no actual wedding date in sight, Daly and Cladakis seem to be comfortable with their current pace. One can only wish the couple luck for the future as fans are certainly eager to see when the golfer ties the knot again.
