John Daly’s ‘Osteoarthritis’ Injury Woes Ended as Bizarre Camel Adventure Gets Spotted

It appears John Daly is back! The senior golfer had earlier withdrawn from the Chubb Classic, which took place on February 16th at Tiburon Golf Club, owing to Osteoarthritis. But, it appears the golfer has overcome his injury and is all set to make a comeback at the upcoming PGA Tour Champions event in Morocco.

A tweet was shared by NUCLR GOLF on X (previously known as Twitter) which provided updates on the senior professional. The post mentions how Daly “was spotted walking a camel in Morocco ahead of this week’s Champions Tour event” at the Hassan II Golf Trophy, along with sharing two pictures of the athlete in the act.

During the recent PGA Tour Champions event, which spanned a total of two rounds, the 2-time major champ could not finish the second day and was forced out of the tournament after the 16th hole on February 17th. Meanwhile, over the tournament, he carded a total of eight birdies, five bogeys, and five double bogeys or more, pushing his score to 7-over par with two more holes remaining.

Meanwhile, in an Instagram story that he shared a while back, the senior golfer divulged the reason behind his withdrawal to be the degenerative disease known as osteoarthritis. Moreover, he suffered from the same in his left hand which arose after his second shot on the 6th hole which hit the hard ground leading to a flare-up. As a result, on the par-5 hole, he took 11 shots to putt the ball.

In the injury update on Instagram, the pro shared the news with a snap of him getting an injection from the doctor. He did so while conveying his hope of getting through the next four months, and disclosing his plans to play in Morocco as well. In the meantime, Daly did not forget to express his gratitude towards the medical professional from Naples, Dr. Brian Wallace.
