Ahead of the 2022 PNC Championship, John Daly appreciated his son's golfing skills. He said (via the PGA Tour):
"What's great about Little John's swing is, you know, he doesn't quite go past parallels like his Pops. But if you look at his balance, he's always, his balance is unbelievable."
“His right leg never goes out, his right leg never goes out, so he turns really good and his follow-through is so powerful. He’s so strong; that’s why he hits it so far. Every part of his body is working," he added.
John Daly II has also served as a caddie to his father at the 150th Open Championship and following in the footsteps of his father he is playing collegiate golf at the University of Arkansas.
John Daly attended the University of Arkansas on a golf scholarship from 1984 to 1987. He played under the guidance of his coaches, Steve Loy and Bill Woodley. During his amateur career, he qualified for the US Open in 1986 but did not make the cut after two rounds.
