John Daly shares alarming health update as he skips PGA Tour Championship
John Daly has given a concerning update about his physical health months after undergoing emergency surgery on his hand. In January, the 1991 PGA Championship winner revealed he'd gotten his 16th surgery in four years due to tangled tendons, which is an inflammation of the tendons between your muscles and bones. Advertisement During an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, Daly opened up about his recovery since the surgery on his hand four months ago and hinted that he's still on the mend. 'I'm like Lazarus — I keep coming back from the dead,' he said. 'Waking up is a win for me.' It also hasn't been easy for him to golf. He noted that he has problems with getting through the ball on three-quarter shots and putting. However, he will be playing at the Regions Tradition, one of the five major senior golf championships on the PGA Tour Champions. The event, which is a part of a tour for golfers over 50, will take place in Birmingham, Alabama, next week. John Daly says 'waking up is a win' for him after undergoing hand surgery (Getty Images) But he'll be missing the 2025 PGA Tour Championship, which also takes place next week in Charlotte, North Carolina. Advertisement 'I can go there and miss the cut and get $6,000,' he said about the PGA Championship, which gave $4,000 to players who didn't win last year. 'But I'm playing Birmingham. I love Regions. They're a great sponsor. But why are they scheduling Regions the same week as the PGA Championship, where I can see Brooks (Koepka) and all the guys?' In January, Daly shared a photo on Instagram of himself in a hospital bed after undergoing hand surgery. 'Thank you to Doc McClimans for getting me mended back! Should be hitting 'em again soon! Thx for all the messages,' he wrote in the caption at the time.' Two months later, he made his return to the golf course, competing in the Champions Tour's Hoag Classic in California. 'It's good to be back. It's been a little brutal, but the hand's about 80 percent,' Daly, who won The Open Championship in 1995, said in an Instagram video posted by PGA Tour Champions. 'So figured I'd come here. I love playing in the Hoag Classic. Every year, the guys are so great. So we'll see what happens.' Advertisement '[My doctor] doesn't understand how I played last year. But he put it back, attached it to the forefinger or something,' he added. 'Sixteen surgeries in four years, I've lost count pretty much.' During an appearance on Like a Farmer Podcast in February, he reflected on learning that he had bladder cancer in 2020 and how scary that was for him. 'I was peeing blood, puking' blood,' he said. 'I thought my back was killing me, and I didn't know. And I went in Little Rock, got a checkup and everything on my back and then, was it a neurologist? Doctor saw it and said, 'You gotta come back.'' However, he noted that his doctors caught the cancer in time, and he'd been in remission for four years.

Golf legend John Daly makes light of recent health scares: ‘I've only been dead 11 times'
John Daly has admittedly lived an interesting life both on and off the course. Earlier this week, ahead of The Galleri Classic, the two-time major winner reflected on his lengthy career when shown a picture of his rookie tour card from 1992. "I didn't think I'd been out here for three decades," Daly said in a video shared by the PGA Tour Champions. "I've only been dead 11 times. I'm like Lazarus. I just keep coming back from the dead. "That's when I could actually play the game." He made the comment about his health about two months after he underwent emergency surgery on his hand. He shared a post from his hospital bed in January, adding that the surgery was a success and that he would "be back playing in no time!" He returned this month in time for the Champions Tour's Hoag Classic in California. "It's been a little brutal, but the hand's about 80%," he said at the time in a video, via ESPN. Daly revealed he has undergone 16 surgeries in the last four years due to tangled tendons. In a recent podcast appearance, Daly also opened up about being diagnosed with bladder cancer. "It was scary," he said during an appearance on the "Like a Farmer Podcast." "I was peeing blood, pukin' blood. ... I thought my back was killing me, and I didn't know. And I went in Little Rock, got a checkup and everything on my back and then, was it a neurologist? Doctor saw it and said, 'You gotta come back.'" He underwent surgery and has been in remission for four years. Despite all his health setbacks, Daly had a positive message about life for his younger self when looking back at his rookie picture.
