John Daly's journey on the PGA Tour

John Daly first turned pro in 1987 and joined the PGA Tour in 1991. His first year on the PGA Tour was extremely impressive, as he went on to win the 1991 PGA Championship. The tournament was a memorable one for Daly, as he received the final place in the field after a golfer dropped out at the last moment.

Daly had a troublesome year in 1993, as he was suspended by the PGA Tour due to his behaviour. However, he came back in 1994 to win the BellSouth Classic- his third PGAT victory. Daly went on to win the 1995 Open Championship.

Over the course of his career, he went on to win tournaments such as the JCPenny Classic, BMW International Open, Buick Invitational and the B.C. Open. Daly joined the PGA Tour Champions in 2016 and continues to play semi-regularly on the Tour.
