John Daly is one of the most colorful players in the world of golf. The multiple record holder has made tons of fans across the globe. But his followers love him more for his non-country club appearance than his game on the field. Daly lives a life of luxury and class. However, there was a time when he described the title of his life in three words.

But according to Daly, there are still lots of things his fans don’t know about him. And so he once gave a title to his own life during an interview with Tom Chiarella back in 2010. The interviewer pointed out how Daly’s fans knew everything about him. And the golfer first agreed to it. He said, “That’s not hard to do. One thing, I let them people see everything.”
However, he then gave his life a title: “Perception’s Not Reality”. The interviewer disagreed and said that it was not the case for Daly. According to Chiarella, the perception of Daly for his fans was that he is “pretty straight” with everything he does. But Daly seemed to stick to the title and said, “There’s nothing I could have told you that could have got me in trouble. ‘Cause I didn’t know. No one did.”
