John Daly drops bombshell news, reveals being hospitalized after undergoing "emergency surgery"

PGA fan-favorite John Daly dropped a shocking update on his Instagram stories after revealing that he underwent an "emergency surgery" in Tampa, Florida. The PGA Tour veteran was hospitalized and shared the update from his bed with his fans and followers. John Daly later also shared a post sharing the same update and thanked his doctor Dr. McClimans for a successful surgery.

The PGA Icon was last seen playing in the PNC Championship with his son, John Daly II. The 58-year-old is a well-liked figure on the PGA Tour. Daly, however, did not reveal anything about his hand injury but reassured his fans that he would be "back in no time" hitting golf balls again.

John Daly captioned his Instagram post saying:

"Thank you to Doc McClimans for getting me mended back! Should be hitting em again soon! Thx for all the messages"

Daly is well known for smoking a cigarette and having beers on the course and for his unique fashion taste. However, he is more than just a chill golfer. The American has won 2 Major tournaments - The US Open in 1991 and the Open Championship in 1995.

John Daly and Tiger Woods exchanged friendly banter at the PNC Championship

Watching golfers tee up with their kids is always a special sight, especially if they are called Tiger Woods and John Daly. The veteran golfers have been a regular sight at the PNC Championship with their sons. Daly has also won the title with his son in 2021. Ironically, it was Tiger Woods and his son Charlie who ended up just short of a runner-up place.

The old friends met up once again this year at the Ritz-Carlton course in Orlando and shared a bit of friendly banter between the two. Woods took a sly jibe at Daly's unconventional lifestyle and Daly took it like an absolute legend that he is.

Tiger Woods shouted:

"I'll meet you in the gym,"

Daly responded by saying:

"At least gym is a three-letter word. Yours is G-Y-M. Mine is B-A-R."

Tiger Woods and son Charlie looked like strong contenders for winning the PNC Championship this year. However, a remarkable comeback by Bernhard Langer and his son saw the 15-time Major winner narrowly miss out on the tournament he has never won.

It was not all bad for the Woods family though. Charlie Woods recorded his first career hole-in-one in the tournament. What a moment to hit your first ace in front of your dad.
