All of this is happening when the golf ace is already suffering from his infamous bladder cancer. It has been a few years since the player was diagnosed with the health disaster.

When did John Daly have his last knee surgery?

It hasn’t been a long time since the golf legend had a full knee-replacement surgery. Fans are aware of how Long John deferred his knee procedure back in December 2022, just to play at the PNC Championship along with his son. Later, the player ended up having a successful surgery at Arkansas Surgical Hospital in the same month.

The golf ace even shared a picture of himself on Instagram after the procedure and said that he was “up and running”. Well, that is the spirit that fans love the most about Daly. However, the fact that he has to undergo another surgery in a few weeks is pretty concerning to his admirers!
