PGA Legend John Daly's Most Valuable Golf Secrets Revealed

John Daly is famous for his massive drives and larger-than-life personality—but there’s a lot more to his game than most people realize. In a 7-minute on-course lesson, Daly drops some surprising golf wisdom that shows just how much feel and finesse he brings to the game.

I always thought Daly was all about power. But in this video, he walks through one-handed chips, ¾ swings from 160 yards, and his approach to shaping shots with touch. It’s clear he spends as much time on his short game as he does crushing drives.

One of the coolest parts? He reveals he learned golf by reading Jack Nicklaus comics in Golf Digest. That unexpected origin story adds a fun layer to the video.

What really stands out is how relaxed and honest Daly is as he talks through his game. There’s no fluff—just real insights from a guy who’s been there and done it at the highest level.

If you enjoy seeing how tour pros actually think on the course, this short video is well worth your time. It gave me a whole new appreciation for Daly as a true shotmaker—not just a long hitter.
