In a recent revelation, golf legend John Daly has candidly illuminated the current nature of his relationship with the renowned Tiger Woods, 35 years following their initial encounter in 1990. Daly, a charismatic figure in the world of golf, held the title of longest hitter on the PGA Tour for an impressive 11 seasons. His quirky swing and laid-back approach to the sport earned him the nickname ‘Wild Thing.’
As Tiger Woods was rising to the zenith of his career, Daly’s star was beginning to wane. The high point of Daly’s career was in 2005 when he reached his peak world ranking. However, his subsequent decline in the Official World Golf Ranking was steady. These days, the Californian golfer is infrequently seen on the course. In 2024, he participated in both the PNC Championship and the PGA Championship, though he withdrew from the latter. He also made an appearance on Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube channel.
During last year’s family-centric event in Orlando, Daly and Woods crossed paths once again. Speaking on the Like a Farmer Podcast, Daly gave a glimpse into his interactions with the 15-time major champion. He confessed that their relationship has somewhat cooled with time.
Contrary to popular perception, Daly and Woods aren’t dinner buddies. “It’s distant. It’s not like we go to a lot of dinners. I always invited him to come and see me, and a few times, he has invited me to come see him, but our schedules just don’t work,” Daly revealed. However, he expressed his admiration for Woods, adding, “But I love that kid, man; what he has done in golf is amazing.”
During Woods’ golden era, Daly’s performance in major championships was less than stellar. His closest brush with challenging Woods was at the 2002 Masters where he tied for 32nd place. His last notable performance was at the 2012 PGA Championship, where he tied for 18th. This was also the last time Daly made a cut in a major championship.
Daly recollected his first meeting with Woods, which took place in 1990, before Woods teamed up with famed coach Butch Harmon. He shared an anecdote from a junior tournament where he met a then 12 or 13-year-old Woods, who was already being touted as a future star.
This meeting occurred when Daly was 20 and playing the Nike Tour. The highlight of this encounter was a 210/15-yard shot Daly played with a five iron, which Woods still regards as the greatest shot he has ever witnessed in golf.
Daly fondly remembered the young Tiger Woods, saying, “What an unbelievable kid.” He also recalled his promise to Woods’ parents, asserting that he would look out for their son if needed. This heartening story of camaraderie and competition offers a unique insight into the relationship between two of golf’s most memorable figures.
