John Daly is no stranger to an erratic diet. The 2-time Major Championship winner was a victim of diet cokes and beer cups on the golf course, which somehow brought the best out of him. However, Daly has never really revealed his exact consumption, which remained a mystery too large to ignore.

Henceforth, CBS host, Will Brinson, once sought to find every detail of Daly’s diet. The details were recorded in a practice round at the 2008 Wyndham Championship, with Brinson following the 56-year-old at every juncture. Unsurprisingly, the results were calamitous.

How did Brinson go about seeking John Daly’s diet?

While Daly has been self-conscious of his health in recent years, he was a monster during his early days. Indeed, they didn’t call him the ‘Wild Thing’ for nothing! Daly would sip beer glasses and smoke cigarettes during breaks regularly across golf competitions. He was the star of the roster in some tournaments, but it didn’t bother a breezy Daly.

In a never-attempted task, a curious Brinson sought to follow Daly’s regular diet whilst playing at a golf tournament. He got his chance at the 2008 Wyndham Championship, where Daly was one of the bigger names on the circuit.

Every detail of John Daly’s diet on a golf course

Ahead of the event, Brinson got behind Daly in the latter’s practice rounds at the Greensboro. Across the 18 holes, the CBS host followed every move and took note of every action.

According to him, the initial holes were “eye-opening.” However, by the end of the practice round, he realized he was “essentially watching someone pitch a perfect game.”

Heads up, Brinson’s details ranged from cigarettes to diet cokes. In between 18 holes of golf, Daly smoked 21 cigarettes, 12 diet cokes, 6 packets of peanut M&M’s, and a grand total of zero ounces of water!!

It is no surprise that Daly has given up such a ridiculous diet on the course. In an era where golfers are matching the fitness levels of athletes, Daly’s diet seems laughable. Indeed, the details recorded by Brinson were just his consumption on the course; a daily record would have been inconceivable.
