John Daly's kindness often goes unnoticed—does he deserve more recognition for his off-course actions?

Bad boys of golf, meet good hearts! The golfing icon John Daly and Bryson DeChambeau, have joined forces for the ‘Break 50’ challenge. DeChambeau initiated the unlikely partnership by asking his followers on X (formerly Twitter) who should be his next collab partner and Daly seized the opportunity with a bold reply: ‘LFG (Let’s F** Go)!‘ Now, as their YouTube episode gains traction, a heartwarming moment from Daly’s past is resurfacing – a moment proving even the toughest golfing bad boys have a soft spot.

Amidst John Daly’s epic collab with DeChambeau, a vintage Reddit post is making the rounds – and it’s a total mood booster. The post showed a picture of Daly getting ready to ‘grip it and rip it’. The story dates back five years when a fan shared a heartwarming encounter with Daly at Old Hickory Golf Course in Nashville. As the fan recalls, Daly kindly offered, “Hey brother, you wanna play through just let us know”

The fan, clearly starstruck, replied, “No way I’m teeing off in front of you John”. Daly’s kindness and humility left a lasting impression on the fan, who later shared the encounter on Reddit and described it as the coolest day ever. Five years later, this heartwarming exchange is still warming hearts, proving he’s a true gentleman and a fan favorite.

Or maybe the fan just didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire of Daly’s ripping darts! After all, his legendary drives were a force to be reckoned with, earning him the title of one of the longest hitters on tour for an impressive 21 years. His average drive distance was a staggering 300 yards, peaking at 314.3 yards in 2003.
