Where is John Daly?
According to his fans, Daly is aging like fine wine. The golfer is currently 56 years old, and nowhere near retirement. The golfer even wanted to be a part of the LIV Golf league led by Greg Norman. But to his surprise, Norman rejected his appeal to enter the tour. Hence, the golfer continues to play on the PGA Tour.
