John Daly is highly known for his brutal honesty in the golf world. Maybe that is why the golfer does not have a lot of friends on the PGA Tour. He recently appeared at the Cologuard Classic, making it his first tournament for this year. But now, the golfer is ready to take a break from the game and have some fun! Although the player hardly ever gets excited by anything new happening around him, his recent Twitter post suggested otherwise. Daly recently shared his excitement about him meeting someone who is pretty famous in his own field of music.
