John Daly is blessed with three kids. Two daughters, Sierra Lynn Daly, and Shynah Hale Daly, and a son John Patrick Daly II. Daly and his son not only share a name but also a deep passion for golf. Following in the steps of his father, Daly II started playing golf from a very early age. And now he has gained so much command over the game that he confidently shares the greens with his father.

This week Daly Jr. is accompanying Daly Sr. to the PNC Championship, a competition they won in 2021. At this event, they have always given stiff competition to their opponents which include the likes of Tiger Woods and his young son Charlie Woods. As Daly II picks his clubs, let’s take a look at his golfing career so far.

Daly II’s ongoing amateur career and support of John Daly

Born in 2003, the youngest Daly child always had a love for golf. By the time he turned 6 years old, Daly Jr. started showing much interest in golf. By the time he turned 10, Daly II started playing in tournaments and was by the side of his father during his events. Right now Daly Jr. is in the amateur phase of his career. So far he has made 3 top-10 finishes

Like his father, Daly II also plays college golf at the University of Arkansas. Similar to Daly, Daly Jr. also is a part of the Razorbacks. Daly Jr. has many accomplishments to boast of when it comes to collegiate golf. He has won the Sung Hyun Park Junior Championship, finished second at the AJGA Junior Championship, and 5th at the Justin Thomas Junior Championship. Other than that, he has also finished in the top 10 in four other college events. 

John Daly too trusts his son’s golfing skills and counts upon it, which is why he took Daly Jr as his caddie for the prestigious Open Championship in 2022. In fact, in a 2020 interview, Daly admitted that Daly II outdrives him. According to the veteran golfer, his son hits so far that he can’t keep up with him.

Daly further added “He really does have a passion for the short game. He loves to putt and chip.” Surely Daly II is a champion in making and the biggest example of this is the famous win attained at the 2021 PNC Championship by the Daly boys.

Team Daly has been playing in the PNC Championship since 2016 when Daly II was just 13 years old. During all their appearances, the team has always finished in the top 10 and had a close call in 2018 as they ended up being the runner-up. And after 5 years of breaking sweat, they finally emerged victorious at the 2021 edition of the event. The happiness of the Daly boys radiated from their faces as they held their Willie Park Trophy with big smiles on their faces. Later in an interview, Daly Sr. said, “It’s just one of the highlights of my life. To be able to play in a PGA Tour event with your son and win, it’s pretty special.”

Will they be able to repeat the previous glory?
