John Daly’s 18-Hole Diet Includes Nearly 2 Dozen Cigarettes, Diet Cokes, and Absolutely No Water

It was a surprise when a rookie of the PGA Tour won the 1991 PGA Championship. Nobody knew back then that the said golfer was born to surprise all the golf fans with his golfing and free-spirited lifestyle. However, did you know the diet John Daly follows while playing 18 holes? 

“21 cigarettes, 12 Diet Cokes, and 6 packs of Peanut M&M’s.” It is the list of items that took John Daly to play 18-holes at a practice round in 2008! It might sound unreal but, it is the truth, considering Will Brinson, the reporter who wrote an article about it back in 2008, posted it on Twitter. 

Will Brinson explained that the article is not available on the internet. However, according to him, he witnessed the golfer’s diet with his own eyes.

How did the golf world react to John Daly’s story from the 2008 PGA Tour event? 

As Brinson’s tweet reached many, some of the reporters shared when they had experienced the golfer do the same. 

This is not the only time Daly had expressed his hate for the water. In an interview with Graham Bensinger, he had said that his friends on the Tour call him “a camel.” Furthermore, Daly explained that he drinks his coke with ice, and that is the only way he intakes water.

Many fans reciprocated it with funny jokes as the incident seemed funnier to them.

Meanwhile, many admired the way the golfer is living his life freely without any concerns.

However, there were some fans who showed concern over his health.

John Daly at the 2022 PGA Championship

The 2022 PGA Championship began on May 19, and Daly is a part of the field. The golfer is ranked at T56 after round 1 at the Southern Hills. Notably, Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, and Bubba Watson are also at the T56 rank with some other golfers.
