Every pro athlete has their fan following no matter which sport they play. But in the case of PGA Tour Pro, John Daly, fans from all around the world find something or the other to love in the golfer.

While he is tagged the bad boy of the royal sport due to his troubles with smoking and drinking, as well as consequential health and social issues, Daly is a beloved figure in golf for more than one reason. Many fans love his teddy-bear personality but most recently, the 57-year-old golfer displayed his “patriotism” in the most fascinating way.

John Daly’s video is rampant on social media

The PGA Tour pro has suffered from many health conditions in the past, including a knee surgery. However, that did not stop him from taking a comfortable field goal during the practice rounds for the PGA Tour Champions event in St. Louis. The 57-year-old is scheduled to play at the Ascension Charity Classic at the Norwood Hills Country Club in Missouri this week but decided to take a shot at a football career first.

The beloved American golfer was seen on the field, barefoot, taking a shot at a field goal, and making it exactly how he did back in 1992. His penchant for the American sport demonstrates his love for his country with valor. The video is making its rounds across social media platforms. LIV Golf Nation even pointed out in their caption, “How can anyone not love John Daly?”

Although the video was originally shared by the PGA Tour Champions, tagging John Daly in the reels, it has garnered a lot of attention from fan sites and platforms. “He’s still got it,” the OG caption rightfully pointed out, because indeed he does. His replicant field kick was just as stunning at age 57 as it was in his early years.

Daly fans are going gaga over the adorable video of the pro golfer taking his shot barefoot. Some fans are truly impressed at his activeness despite his health problems not so long ago.

Some fans wrote, “One of the greatest dual-sport athletes of our time!” while another added to the view, “kicks just like he did in the 80s lol.”One ardent Daly admirer called him a “Pure athlete.”

There were also those who saw through the field kick into John Daly’s inner patriot. They eagerly commented, “Seems unfathomable that [Daly] never played in a Ryder Cup. His patriotism alone would have at least helped us show better at a Belfry, Valderrama or Celtic Manor. He should go for a captaincy… he’d slay it!”

There were also fans who found hilarity in the caption and ironically asked, “Wait…there are people who don’t love John Daly??????????” After all, the PGA Tour Champions pro has garnered fans from all over the world through the years.

Despite all the love, of course, there were some netizens who did not find the video all that appealing. They plainly stated, “Why should everyone love a big fat red neck kicking a ball barefoot?”

Regardless of haters, Daly fans loved the video and called the pro golfer “Alpha John,” for his remarkable talent.

Daly has proven time and again that he is a gifted athlete. This particular field goal demonstrates that even though he never played pro football, he remains a “dual athlete” at heart come hell or high water.
