Proud John Daly issues 3-word message about his son to 832K IG followers
Two-time major champion John Daly praised his son, John Daly II, via Instagram on Wednesday, April 2. Daly II won SEC Golfer of the Week honors for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks.
Daly reshared a post from the Arkansas Razorbacks Golf Team's official Instagram account and added it to his story.
"Proud of you son! #woopigsooie," John Daly's caption reads on his story post.
After winning his first collegiate event last weekend, John Daly II earned the conference's Golfer of the Week honors. He won the Columbia Spring Invitational, finishing tied with two other golfers at one-under-par for the two rounds.
Daly II played his final five holes in six under par to get to one under par for the tournament. He won due to a match of cards between him and the other two golfers he was tied with.
Daly II was redshirted in the 2022-23 season but played well in the 2023-24 season. In 2023-24, he played eight events for the Razorbacks, posting a 71.78 scoring average in 23 rounds in competition. He was also the only Razorback to post top 20 finishes in the first six events of the year, which included two top 10s.
John Daly II had played well in the 2024-25 season before his win last weekend, finishing tied for fourth place at the Palmas del Mar Collegiate. In his most recent start prior to his win last weekend, he finished tied for 37th at the Valspar Collegiate.
