For decades John Daly has been one of the most fascinating people in all of golf – whether he's competing or not. But as it turns out, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
On Saturday, Daly's son John Daly II – a rising golf star in his own right – claimed victory in the Southern Amateur Championship. The win caps off an incredible junior year of golf with the Arkansas Razorbacks, which included a win at the Columbia Spring Invitational.
"Congratulations to John Daly II for winning the Southern Amateur Championship!" the PGA TOUR Champions account shared on X.

Congratulations have been pouring in not just for the younger Daly, but for his whole family after his superb achievement today:
"This isn’t the last we’ll hear from John John," one user declared.
"Great win! Congrats!" another wrote.
"How many cigs did he smoke during the round though?" another asked, referencing his father's penchant for smoking during golf rounds.
"Congrats John John!! Keep it rolling."
Naturally, his father was just as proud. Taking to X a short while ago, the elder John Daly shared a kind message congratulating him on his big way.
"One Proud Daddy!!! 🏆 @sgagolf Champion 👊🏼 @johndalyll @razorbackmgolf @john_dalys_nashville #hitithard #hogs #razorbacks #golf #champions #trophy," Daly wrote.

John Daly II rose to national attention back in 2021 when he teamed up with his father to take on Tiger Woods and his son Charlie in the PNC Challenge and won the whole thing. The two have competed together in every PNC Challenge since, most recently finishing tied for eighth back in December.
The future looks bright for the whole Daly family.
