Alright, so I was digging into John Daly’s tournament wins the other day, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a wild ride, just like the guy himself. I’m a big fan of his, so I figured, why not compile all his wins in one place? It took a bit of doing, but I got there in the end.
First things first, I started scouring the internet for any info I could find on Daly. I checked out his official website, which, to be honest, is pretty cool. It’s got all the latest news, his schedule, and a bunch of background stuff. It’s a good starting point if you’re curious about the guy.
Then, I dived into the PGA TOUR website. They have a profile on Daly, complete with stats, videos, photos, the whole nine yards. I spent a good chunk of time browsing through all of that, and I noticed that most websites mentioned that his career took off when he won the US PGA Championship in 1991. It was a fun way to get a feel for his career trajectory. Also, I noticed his results on ESPN (IN), including all the tournaments he’s played in 2024, which is pretty neat to keep track of.
I also found some interesting tidbits on various other websites. I read about how Daly withdrew from the 152nd Open Championship after a rough start. Then I found an article talking about how he took the lead in a tournament after shooting a 5-under 67 and followed it up with a 69 to hold a three-shot lead going into the final round. Man, that must have been intense.
And get this, I even read that he recently played in a charity golf tournament for Fallen Navy Seals. How cool is that? He also started his week in Morocco walking camels through the desert before a tournament! That’s our John Daly, always keeping things interesting.
So, after gathering all this information from different sources, I started piecing together a timeline of his tournament wins. I had to cross-reference a bunch of articles and websites to make sure I got everything right.
- 1991 PGA Championship: This was his big break. He came out of nowhere and took the title.
- Then some wins on the Ben Hogan Tour and international victories, like the 1990 AECI Charity Classic in South Africa.
- 1995 British Open: He won this one in a playoff against Costantino Rocca. It was a real nail-biter.
- After that, there were a few more PGA Tour wins, like the 2004 Buick Invitational, and some victories on other tours.
- 2017 Insperity Invitational: This was his first PGA Tour Champions win.
Putting this all together was a bit of a challenge, but it was also a lot of fun. It’s pretty cool to see all of Daly’s accomplishments laid out like that. He’s had a heck of a career, and it was a blast getting to research it all and compile it into one place. I hope you guys find it as interesting as I did!
