John Daly is quite a character in the professional golfing circuit and is very famous off the course rather than on the course. He has five PGA Tour wins and is a two-time major championship winner. Daly is probably one of the best ball strikers golf has ever seen and can hit it long even, when he plays on the PGA Tour of Champions.
In 2016, Daly in a documentary spoke about drinking five beers in a PGA Tour event.

John loves to have alcohol off the course but says he has consumed alcohol only once in a PGA Tour event. In the documentary ‘Hit It Hard’ Daly said, “I never had any alcohol on the golf course that I remember, except for one time, and that was the L.A. Open,”. “It was so slow and I played the back nine first. I think I’m two or three over. I went in the locker room and downed like five beers, and I think I shot four under on the front nine. That is the only time I know that I ever drank during a round, and I played great. I played great that week. I finished strong.”
