‘Why Do You Guys Like to Write Ppl Off?’: Golf World Once Had Mixed Reactions to a Unique Tiger Woods and John Daly Poll

Tiger Woods and John Daly are the two most popular professional golfers in America. While Woods became famous for his incredible game and winning title after title, the latter was known for being the longest hitter on the PGA Tour for a long time. The two multi-major champions had incredible careers in their respective prime years. However, as time passed, their performance might have faltered, as they hadn’t been able to win any titles, especially the majors.

Daly and Woods have loyal fans in the golf world. Therefore, ‘Golf.com’ found a way to keep things interesting by conducting a unique poll on Twitter in 2015. A survey to know who has the potential to win the next major.

“Tiger Woods or John Daly? Take your pick,” Golf.com captioned their post back in 2015. They also added a picture that showed the players’ stats, which could help the fans and others to give a clear answer.

Fans react to the comparison

The stats of the players were worlds apart. Therefore, the fans found it funny that the two were the opponents in the poll. However, they stayed true to their favorite golfers and answered the question in the comments section. While some tried to make it funnier, some bluntly replied with their opinions. 

The poll ended in a tie, with no clear winner. However, fans now know the answer to the question. After 11 years of not winning a major, Tiger Woods broke the spell and won another major title. He won his 15th major championship at the 2019 Masters Tournament at 43 years, 3 months, and 15 days. 

It has been a couple of years since Woods won a major, and Daly hasn’t won it in more than two decades. Do you think either of them can win another major title? Let us know who you root for!
