“Straight up on the stage, shooting a blue fish, a shot of black sambuca, and there I am singing ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door,’” reminisced John E. Morgan as he laughed about a wild night with John Daly. During a recent episode of the Life on Tour podcast, Morgan, co-host George Harper Jr., and guest Andrew “Beef” Johnston exchanged tales of life on the green—and in Daly’s case, the pub. As they dug into Morgan’s recovery journey, he mentioned how he went to pubs, adopted dogs named Ozzy and Dylan, and reconnected with life. Then came the question: “Have you partied with John Daly?”
Morgan’s face lit up as he launched into his karaoke story: “He’s like taking his top off. Got his man b**bs out. I’m doing the same. He’s like, ‘Yeah, game on! This is great.’” Classic Daly. For the 58-year-old golf icon, known as much for his on-course heroics as his off-course exploits, these larger-than-life stories have fueled his legend. From belting out songs onstage with his band, guitar in hand, to endorsing Good Boy Vodka on his Instagram, Daly’s carefree, unapologetic style continues to captivate fans.
Daly’s lifestyle isn’t for the faint-hearted, but his ability to embrace life—whether it’s belting out rock anthems or hitting the links with a drink in hand—has made him a golfing icon. For his fans, he’s a true legend, both on and off the course. It’s no wonder the comments on his social media are full of admiration: “John Daly is a legend!” and “I wanna be as cool as John Daly when I grow up.”
What’s the secret to his legendary status? His unfiltered approach, the ability to let loose, and a spirit that’s as iconic as his game. So, what about John Daly made you a fan? Let us know in the comments!
