John Daly has never been one to let obstacles slow him down. After a left-hand condition that forced him to withdraw from multiple tournaments in 2024, including the Chubb Classic and PGA Championship, golf’s beloved rebel underwent emergency surgery in January. Yet true to his resilient spirit, he was already looking ahead, sharing an optimistic update with his fans: “Thank you to Doc McClimans for getting me mended back! Should be hitting em again soon!”
While recovering from his latest surgery, Daly isn’t sitting idle. He’s breathing new life into The Lion’s Den, his innovative membership platform that first launched in December 2024. “Hey, everybody, John Daly. Come join Lion’s Den, my home. A lot of improvements, it’s going to be a great time. Hey, keep your handicap there and everything else. Come see us at the Lion’s Den. God bless you, grip it and rip it! Come grip it and sip it with me!” said Daly about his venture at the time of launch.
Now back at the helm, Daly aims to take The Lion’s Den to new heights. How? For a short time, the next few members will 50% off for life. The veteran just shared this on the social media. You see, the Lion’s Den isn’t just another golf membership—it’s Daly’s vision for democratizing the sport.

This isn’t the first time Daly has faced health challenges and that too head-on. Beyond his recent hand troubles, he’s been managing type 2 diabetes and has undergone multiple knee surgeries, including two knee replacements. His left knee’s osteoarthritis makes him the only player who drives a cart during tournaments, yet he continues to compete with unwavering determination.
