Notably, the 46-year-old recently narrated a beautiful story about how he used to play golf with his father in his early days as a golfer.
Watch this story: John Daly narrates how once he defeated Tiger Woods, at Tigers’ own event.
Woods said, “And the rule was you play until you lost your ball. So that I hit that to the right, and it cut a little bit so we got down to drive over there and find the ball. And so I end up playing one day I think I was like 15 or 16 holes in the dark and I kept calling every shot. But playing in the dark was one of the greatest memories I’ve ever hav my dad.”
He added, “My golf day was done. And I didn’t want to.. I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to keep playing.”
What a beautiful story from Tiger. It is truly amazing to see the passion he had for the sport, even at that age.
