Ahead of the 2022 PNC Championship, the anticipation was high for the Daly family to successfully retain their title. Though John Daly and his son provided the fans with some great golf, they fell two strokes short of the winner, Team Singh. However, before the commencement of the event, Daly shared some bad news with his fans.

The ‘Wild Thing’ along with his son finished as the runners-up of the 2022 PNC Championship. They scored 120 in total, failing to retain their 2021 Father-son title. However, in the press conference on Friday, Daly had an important announcement to make.

In the press conference, the reporters asked both Daly as well as his son questions related to their father-son bond. Later, one media spokesperson asked John Daly whether he will be playing golf with his son now that Daly II is in college.

The two-time Major winner replied, “No, hardly ever get to see him”. He then talks about how he would be spending Christmas with his son and family, but would also like to spend more time with them during the summer. “We get holidays and stuff. But the summertime will be better”, said Daly.

Nonetheless, the legendary golfer then revealed about his knee replacement surgery which is set to take place on the upcoming Wednesday. Big John said, “I’m getting my knee replacement done Wednesday, full knee replacement. So I’ll be out for a while.”

Despite his surgery, Daly spoke in a positive tone, saying “We’ve got Christmas coming up, so we’ll get to spend some time together.” The PGA Tour Champions star is not new to surgeries. Let’s take a deeper look at what the latest surgery means for the Florida-born golfer.

What surgery will Daly go through?

John Daly will have his knee replaced by the end of this week. The knee is generally replaced after it has undergone several pains and struggles caused by osteoarthritis. A replaced knee can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints.

The procedure of the surgery involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers. Daly has been facing issues with his knee for quite some time now. Hopefully, it all comes to an end this Wednesday.
