Arkansas alum John Daly is one of the most iconic golfers in the history of the sport. As a Razorbacks alum, he decided to chime in with a prediction for the Arkansas vs. Texas A&M showdown on Saturday. What did he have to say?

“I know one thing, we’re excited,” he said. “We feel like Lazarus-we’re coming back from the dead. (Laughs). And it’s just awesome to watch. And our fans are always going to support our Razorbacks no matter what, but there’s nothing better than winning. Hogs 28-17…Woooo…Pig Soie!”

John Daly bio

John Daly made a name for himself as one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour. Undoubtedly his most famous win was his “zero to hero” win at the 1991 PGA Championship. Another highlight of his PGA Tour career was the 1995 playoff victory over Constantino Rocca in the British Open.

In addition to winning on American soil, Daly won pro events in South Africa, Swaziland, Scotland, Germany, South Korea, Turkey and Canada.

1991 PGA Championship

The 1991 PGA Championship was played at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana. He had 23 starts and had missed 11 cuts leading up to the tournament, so it took a number of withdrawals for him to even get into the tournament. Daly played the course for the first time in his entire life and shot a 12-under 276. His lead was so big heading into the final round that all that it took was a 1-under 71 in the final round to hold of Bruce Lietzke and win the PGA Championship. The win was easily the most memorable moment of Daly’s professional career.

John Daly II

John Daly played on the Arkansas golf team from 1984 to 1987. Daly’s son, John Daly II, is currently a freshman on the Arkansas golf team. Daly II had seven AJGA top-10 finishes from September 2020 to July 2021. Before enrolling at Arkansas, the AJGA had him ranked as the third-ranked junior in the state of Florida. In high school, he was named as a 2020 Rolex Junior All-American.
