Over the decades, John Daly has accomplished quite a lot of unbelievable things. The outlandish golfer has won several times on the PGA Tour and has even nabbed two major titles! His golfing talents were such that even Jack Nicklaus couldn’t stop raving about them. “Good gracious, what a coil, what an unleashing of power,” the 18-time major winner once remarked about Daly’s backswing.

The 57-year-old has also ushered in great success with his part-time music career. A country music enthusiast, he has released a successful autobiographical album titled “My Life,” with guest performances from Willie Nelson and Johnny Lee. He has even worked with 5-time Grammy Award nominee Kid Rock!
