Fans have reacted on social media to the very different training routines of Tiger Woods and John Daly. The PGA Tour Champions recently shared a video of Woods and Daly in which the golfers opened up about their warm-up routines.

Speaking about his fitness, Tiger Woods said he woke up early in the morning and ran four miles before hitting the gym.

"I used to get up in the morning, run 4 miles, then I go to the gym, do my lift, then I'd hit balls for 2-3 hours. I would go play, come back, work on my short game, I'd go run another 4 more miles. And then, if anyone wanted to play basketball or tennis. I would go play basketball or tennis. That was a daily routine," said Woods (via USA Today).

Conversely, Daly disclosed that before hitting his first tee shot, he usually smoked around five cigarettes and consumed three diet cokes.

"Hit balls for maybe 20 minutes, putt a little bit, smoke 4 or 5 cigarettes, drink 3 diet cokes and then go to the first tee," said Daly.
