Over the years, John Daly has shown his different colors to his fans. The golfer gained the attention of the golf community by winning a major event with his long driving skills in his rookie year. He continued to surprise everyone with his love for fast food and diet coke and his hate for water. After all these years, one would think the golfer could not give any more surprises, but then he went on to do a scary stunt at a golf course during a Pro-am event!
John Daly is widely popular for being the ‘Wild Thing’ of golf because of his free-spirited lifestyle. He took the wilderness in him to a different level when he did a belly flop into the Trump Doral water hazard recently.

Fan reactions to the 2-time major champion doing the belly flop
Florida golf courses are famous for having too many alligators in their water hazards. Yet, the 1991 PGA Championship winner didn’t hesitate for a moment before jumping into it, with a lot of his friends and colleagues watching and cheering. Hence, most of the fan comments on Twitter were related to alligators:
Gators wouldn’t dare!!!

I'm not sure a gator's mouth opens that wide.

I don’t believe John Daly is afraid of anything, other than being normal maybe. One of the best golfers in the world & could have been the greatest, he just didn’t want to take the game that seriously.

Many even joked that instead of Daly, the alligators would be afraid of him.
They’re probably more afraid of him!
