The 55-year-old year is currently in Orlando, Florida, where the highly talked about PNC Championship is currently underway. In a stout field comprising Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, and Gary Player, John Daly is teeing it up with his budding golfer son, John Patrick Daly II.
Showcasing the duo’s cheer, Daly revealed his holiday costume, dressed as a very real-looking Santa Claus.

Moreover, a delighted golf world had a lot to say.
Best Santa ever no padding and a real beard plus can hit a one iron.

I knew it, Santa playing golf while the poor elves left at home to do all the hard work! Better make a good run on the 24th or there will be questions asked!

And one thing that naturally compliments his outfit is, of course, his beard. However, did you know Daly actually had hinted at how he would don the red costume?

Daly is not letting his beard grow out to keep on trend with a fashion statement or a whim. No, he has a solid reason for doing so, as he revealed. He said, “Well, I started growing it when I found out I had cancer. And I figured most people shave things. I just wanted to grow this until I beat it.”
Taken as a joke that time, he said, “So this thing may be down to my knees time I beat this cancer. But I am going to let it grow and grow. I will put my Santa Claus outfit on for Christmas for the next three or four years.”
