ORLANDO – Charlie Woods and Tiger aren’t the only ones who have been unable to complete the PNC Championship this week.
John Daly, a former major champion, revealed Wednesday that he will be having left-side knee replacement surgery. Daly, 56, has had his right knee replaced with osteoarthritis three years back.
Daly stated pgatour.com that “it’s hard when you don’t follow-through.” “I am basically trying to keep one leg straight. I will be able to get through because of the adrenaline from playing with my son.
In a pre-tournament interview, he said that “So I’ll have a while” “We have Christmas coming up so we’ll be able to spend some time together.”
Daly opted to delay surgery in order that John II, who is redshirting at Arkansas this year, could defend their title at PNC Championship. Last year, Team Woods was beaten by the Dalys by one stroke.
Daly can sympathize with Tiger’s pain, which he has recently been suffering from plantar fasciitis.
Daly stated, “It’s not fun when you can’t walk and can’t turn and be in a position to practice enough and complete. It’s not fun.” “I pray for Tiger. We need Tiger on the Tour, so I pray that his leg is strong and can be fixed. My number of surgeries is probably higher than Tiger’s. Over the past five years, they just keep increasing in number. But I do get the metal in my knee. Hell, I have more metal than the Bionic Man.

Tiger insists that he will not petition for a cart on PGA Tour. However, Daly, who uses a cart at PGA Championship since 2019, does not believe riding in a car gives him an advantage. It is actually a disadvantage, he claimed.
“I don’t feel embarrassed to use a cart. Daly stated that it doesn’t help my golf game in any way. I prefer to walk and play golf, because you can take your time and decide if it’s a good or bad hole. It is a huge disadvantage. However, if I could walk I would.
