John Daly’s famous diet at the PGA Championship included 12 Diet Cokes and a six-pack of peanut M&Ms. He had all this during a single round of the PGA Championship along with a pack of 21 cigarettes.
Fowler’s and Nelk Boys’ thoughts
Bob Menery from the Nelk Boys brought in the conversation of John Daly. He said while referring to Daly, “He doesn’t even give a f**k, like, you play in the PGA Championship, you seem like someone would take it seriously right. I don’t know if it was the meme, but 21 Dr. Peppers and like 29 cigarettes in a round?”

Fowler replied, “I don’t know how true it was, I didn’t get to see it.” At this point, Kyle of the Nelk Boys took the time to appreciate Daly with the number of drinks he had. He said, “21 darts that’s impressive,” and also added, “it’s more than a dart a hole.”

Fowler followed by saying, “At Southern Hills, there’s two par-fives, so even if you have two on the par-five, you still gotta find another hole.” This story is too hard to be true, so we can’t blame Fowler for saying how true it was.
