SQAIRZ is a golf shoe brand that designs shoes that provide more speed, distance, balance, and stability for a golfer. The golfer and the brand partnered to work together in March 2021. Known for his long drives, Daly is the perfect match for the brand to promote the shoes that cover more distance.
Turned professional in 1987, the golfer has once admitted he covered 806 yards through his power hitting. Although it is an impressive feat, there is no record for that. However, his ability to cover the distance is no joke, as he used to be the longest hitter from 1992 to 2002.
