John Daly’s comeback to golf after a prolonged layoff has been met with much fanfare, particularly by a popular rapper. It’s no secret that DJ Khaled, one of the country’s top singer-producer, is a huge fan of the golfer, and hasn’t shied away from praising him on camera. Ahead of his return at the Cologuard Classic, Daly spent some time with Khaled and gave him some tips on his swing. But what did the fans make of the rapper’s golf game?

But upon hitting his tee, Khaled was satisfied with the improvement. However, what did the fans make of his new swing? Among a plethora of comments, some lauded the rapper for his improvement. “Not too shabby, Mr Khaled!” one user said, while another commented, “That swings looking a lot better.”

However, others were less praiseworthy with their words. “Can Khaled even make a full swing with that gut?” one said, while another one replied, “I swear dj khaled has been golfing for some time now. He still doesn’t got it.” A netizen went as far as commenting, “Dj kahled shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as John.”
However, a netizen summed up the pointless criticism of Khaled’s swing perfectly. “People criticizing a non-golfer, like most of you, for picking up the game and shadowing a golf legend, as if he’s unworthy. Bunch of lames,” the user said.
