The show’s host stated, “you know, a lot of people, when they quit doing something like that, they lose a lot of friends.” Daly immediately agreed and said, “I’ve lost a million friends when I quit drinking.” However, he clarified that they were not really friends for him. The PGA Tour pro explained their friendship: “no because I was the one I was buying it. I was always one, hey here, take a couple of grand, keep playing, boys. Let’s go. I’m ready.”

He further explained that times had changed now. Those friends don’t exist in his life. However, he put them under a specific friend list. Daly said, “and now that, that doesn’t happen. Lost a lot of friends. So-called friends.” Even though he lost his drinking buddies, the pro golfer has a lot of love for his genuine fans, which matters to him more.
