“Fortunately for me, they discovered it in time, but they say there is a big risk that it will return,” Daly told the Golf Channel. He therefore undergoes further examinations over time, which may be followed by further interventions. “I’ll see you again in three months and they may have to remove it again. And then again three months when you don’t know,” Daly said.
Daly has won five PGA Tour tournaments in his career, including the major PGA Championship (1991) and British Open (1995). But he is also famous for his tumultuous lifestyle and has succumbed to alcohol and gambling in the past. The passionate smoker now wants to rethink his lifestyle. “I’ll try to quit smoking. I’m not afraid of death, but this is a challenge for me.”
