John Daly

John Daly is a professional golfer on the PGA Tour.

Daly is known primarily for his "zero to hero" victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, his driving distance off the tee (earning him the nickname "Long John"), his non-country club appearance and attitude, and his rough-and-tumble personal life.

Daly was born in Carmichael, California. His family moved from California to Dardanelle, Arkansas when he was five, and he began playing golf the following year. The family subsequently moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia, then to Jefferson City, Missouri, then back to Dardanelle where John graduated from high school.

Daly attended the University of Arkansas, where he was a member of the golf team. He turned professional in 1987, and won the Ben Hogan Utah Classic in 1990.
