Tossing the ball into the crowd like that was an unbelievably boss move. You can cling at the relics and symbols all you want but the real victory is in your heart.
Awsome style!
so true
That confident stride and he approaches the final green, summoning applause from the crowd, is fucking epic! One of the great underdog victories in sports history.
JD always liked to play faster than most. Waiting, he wasn’t a fan of. BTW, he’s still hitting great shots.
@@mikewoodson6930 I can’t believe he just hit his career low a while ago. Even cancer can’t stop John.
4:13 I love how the other guy has his hands on his hips still looking at his drive, then the camera flashes to Daly, takes two waggles and rips it 😂 John Daly the legend
Signing the dude’s visor walking up to his approach shot to win? Amazingly humble and generous move.
Many talk of Tiger's win in '97 as being a tipping point for the popularity of golf. I think Daly's '91 win ranks right up there.
John was great but Palmer brought the average man to the links.
Maybe so. All I know is there sure were a lot of people surrounding #18.
Tiger's 97 Masters Championship was anticipated. Daly's 91 PGA came outta Freakin Nowhere! Lol!!
We knew of Tiger, Daly was a true Cinderella story. He came out of nowhere and after 4 days was a star.
Unfortunately Daly did not win 15 majors, if he had he would have changed golf entirely
Daly never played a practice round at Crooked Stick, so he didn't know where the Trouble was. He never did find it.
Caddie knew where all the trouble was and Daly listened to him. Actually more golfers should do this.
@@DanielSong39 1991 PGA was the first time the Tour ever stopped at Crooked Stick. Caddie Jeff "Squeaky" Medlen got the from Daly at 5:00pm the night before the Championship and didn't know the Terrain either. Caddie and Daly both went to Crooked Stick without a Clue, and wound up with the Championship Trophy.
@@radar0412 Jeff Medlen is Nick Price's caddy and was prepared. Nick Price only pulled out at the last minute.
One could say they didn't have enough time to get intimidated
He was signing autographs while walking to his shot.
John Daly is a regular guy that’s why he is so loved ❤️🇺🇸👍
John Daley is his own MAN, he lives his life his way! If you never go for it, you never know who you are!
How could you not like John Daly!
What a talent!!
I remember it like yesterday. Watching with my late dad that Sunday. It was the greatest golf moment we shared as he had passed before tiger blew up. A great memory ❤🙏⛳
Epic memory
"are you familiar with that call?"
"Yes, sir."
watching John walk down the fairway and invoking the Arsenio Hall thing, am I the only one who gets teary eyed at this reminder of a simpler time?
You just gotta love Daly. No one has more fun out there than him. He hits every shot like it’s his last, no need to play it safe.
Golf could use a few more personalities like Daly.
True for most sports today, they have all become zombie spokesmen for whichever sponsor, too scared to offend anyone and lose millions in sponsorship.
@@markmark5269 True to an extent. There's still quite a few guys out there that just say what comes to mind
And the Walrus
@@1982kinger I'm glad you said that. I was going to say the same thing.
And less morons shouting " get in the hole'......likes it's going make a bloody difference.
Daly’s short game was vastly under appreciated.
Tiger was a force of nature, but before that, Daly broke the mold of the stiffs. Even those "straight-laced" presenters of the trophy didn't know what to say. Daly was "grip it and rip it" and was nuking it WAY beyond everyone for years, but he had an awesome short game too. Even when Tiger turned pro, I remember a Skins game when Daly was still plowing it 40+ yards beyond Tiger just because. Obviously, Tiger is one of the best if not the best ever, but Daly really began a cultural shift in '91 when the blue-collar guys started looking at each other and said "hey, maybe you or me could do this too."
Greatest mullet in the history of the PGA!
Glad Daly won!!
Still love Jon Daly! Takes me back.. This was my freshman year. Nostalgia.
And I remember as a 15 year old sitting at home in Scotland watching him win The Open at St Andrews in 1995, for all the talk of his brute power his touch around the greens was exquisite
Gotta love John Daly. An American Legend 🇺🇸
I remember this day well. I was painting my house, listening to this on the radio. And drinking beer with my neighbor. Oh. The wife was out of town 😀
Sounds like a peaceful day lol
@@seanfennell2457 lmfaoo!! 😭🤣
uh ohh haha does sound like a good Sunday
I'm old enough to have watched this tournament wire to wire...watching it again after all these years what strikes me is how fast he played, I'd completely forgotten that. It's almost comical compared to what we see today. Rotella would be proud!
Yes, I was surprised how fast he played. It's refreshing. There's nothing worse than having to watch a player take forever in his pre-shot routine. Like Phil told Sergio, "Just hit the damn ball."
One of the greatest tournaments ever played
One of the greatest moments in golf history!
I watched this live, but never appreciated how nervous - anxious - and hyped John was at the tee box on 18. If you watch it, his chest is heaving. He is literally JACKED with adrenaline and nerves! It was a great moment for golf!
He never gets enough credit for changing the game but to give you an idea. The driving distance avg for this event was 266, Daly averaged 299. That is almost 40 yards above the field. Pretty incredible.
God bless JD. In a world of robotic corporate yes men...this is the heart of American working class dreams....yahooo!!! Tears in my eyes.
You couldn't have said it any better.
He overpowered a tough course, you can never take that away from him!!
I remember watching John play at the Durban Country Club on the Sunshine Tour about 3-4 years before this PGA Championship. He was striking the ball to never before seen areas of our home course. Everyone was mesmerised by John’s prodigious distance and the impact sound of clubhead and ball. You somehow knew that this could happen!!
John has always been a seriously talented golfer and would have won more than the 2 Majors, if it wasn’t for his off course issues.
Back in the day when the applause was loud since nobody was holding a phone!
I remember watching this live from Arkansas and we were going nuts! Dalys the man!
I watched this live at a little course up in Canada and the clubhouse was going wild. Sporting our national haircut endeared him to many.
Beautiful state, have a wonderful spring!
@@buckodonnghaile4309 lol
So humble at the end. Great moment for golf.
Someone was debating whether JD should be in the hall of fame a few days ago and I have been thinking about it. My conclusion is that if I were him it wouldn't make much difference one way or another. Sure it would be a great honor, and I don't want to take anything away from that. But he won the open at the birthplace of golf. The old course. Standing in St. Andrew's and hearing your name inserted after "champion golfer of the year" is the absolute top of the mountain in golf to me.
I don't care about other Golf Legends - John is a People's Legend & this game was remarkable maybe 1 of the most memorial golf moments God Bless You John
John is a bad ass period still to this day can’t wait to watch lil John
Smoking a dirt coming down 18, what a champ. Should have been sponsored by diet coke and marlboro.
xzabath1
Lol... I remember seeing him in a couple of tournaments...
Always a cigarette 🚬 in his mouth.🤣👍
xzabath1 Often, when people talk about the greatest upsets in sports history, they’ll mention Douglas over Tyson, the U.S. Olympic hockey team over the Soviets, the Jets over the Colts, etc., but this one is entirely overlooked - I believe this one ranks right up there with the all-time great upsets - I had never even HEARD of John Daly before that weekend almost 30 years ago, now (it’s 2020 as I write this), and I dare say that a good 95% of the audience (in attendance at Crooked Stick OR watching on television) probably never had, either - incredible...............
Like a fuckn nascar. U damn right
Dirt?
xzabath1 dart? Lol
Before this, we did not truly conceptualize the idea of driver/pitching wedge for a par five.
John Daly is a national Treasure.
His son is fast becoming as good as his dad was.
Exactly. People talk about Charlie Woods but what about John Jr.!
They just beat tiger and Charlie
Yep little John is no joke...hes playing on a full ride at Arkansas just like his dad...hes gonna be something...hes got dad's talent but also has the work ethic
just a pure moment in time glad i was around to see it
It was so awesome seeing him win this.
He knew he was gonna win the whole time but the reaction when the putt went in was pure disbelief. Damn what a moment
This one, the '86 Masters when Jack own his last major and the '77 Open dual between Jack and Watson are the most entertaining matches in my lifetime. This one was the best because Daly was a virtual unknown, was doing things we had never seen and was at the top all four days.
Tiger was most entertaining. Still is. Curious omission.
Tiger ?
Best golf moment ever ! love the ending with John Daly's "wife to be" to be coming out to greet him.
Hard to believe it's been 29 years....since John could look down and see his feet.
Amazing story and win!
Incredible putt by Bruce.
Got to love John Daly. What you see is what you get. The presentation committee have never seen the likes of this guy. Shame we don't have more like him in any sport.
I'm new to golf. And I only recently heard the underdog tale of John Daly, and have never sat and watched an entire tour on the tellie before. But I would TOTALLY watch the an entire several hour long video that was the complete, full footage of this ENTIRE event, so that I can watch it all in its glory (especially hole 17 where he apparently got a double bogey), in order to fully appreciate this amazing, legendary feat.
With the man the legend Pat Summerall on the commentary
Life before cell phones and internet, those were the days!
It was kind of nice. You could see an event without everyone in the way trying to record it for themselves. Now everyone watches a live event through their device. I would rather see it though my eyes. You can always find a video of it later. The internet was there at that time, but nothing as user accessible as it is today.
@Buford Montgomery a wild fox news viewer appears
misterhulk always gotta play the Fox card don’t cha? 🤗
WHATEVER!!!!!!
@Buford Montgomery Let me guess, it's your wife and kids fault they hate you right?
What I really dig is John's still got over 20M and lives his life his way. Good for you Mr. Daly..... Good for you.
If he has 20 mil why does he park an rv outside augusta to sell merchandise???
@@estebanmorales6568 do you know how to Google things? SI had him @34 M in 2004. I don't know him personally but my Lab paid him $40,000 plus travel and expenses to play in our weekend golf retreat at the Honors Course in Chattanooga about 12 years ago. We had 4 Major champions play with us and it cost the company 200 G's.
Watching this makes me so happy.
How every one of John Daly's rounds started: "Hey. Watch this! Here, hold my beer. Just kidding...gimme that back. Now watch this. (beer still in hand)"
Still love JD, he was good for golf!
Thirty years later, Watching Daly win the PGA still gives you chill bumps. That crowd was electric at Crooked Stick. The same the crowd was electric at Kiawah Island for Phil Mickelson.
Anyone notice. The energy of play and NO cell phones. Golf has changed to a commercial sport
@Daniel Kelly he means quicker tempo
Truly great memories .. one of the most remarkable major tournaments ever 👊
Supremely gifted!
Legend! Hope he stays well.
I can't believe this was over 30 years ago!!
I was there that day...it was magical. I wouldn't want to be the players ahead of him. His drives flew over their heads all day.
Man was and still is the salt of the earth- Bless you John and may you continue to live large!
Back when America was unapologetically great! 💪🇺🇸
I personally believe John Daly is the first person to transition golf into its modern iteration that it is today by being the first person to average 300+ yards per drive.
Crooked Stick is a REALLY nice golf course too. Really humid weather that week, but the groundskeepers did an awesome job keeping the greens in proper condition. While Crooked Stick is a LONG way from a "working man's course" - central Indiana is just where you'd want a moment like this.
Not sure of much, but I will never stop rooting for Big John. Say what you want, but he has always walked the walk and owns what he does. No one has a bigger or softer heart.
Also, what a shot from The Walrus on the 18th. That was smooth.
I really want Daly to light it up again.
Pretty sure he lights something up all the time
Remarkable victory
Considering how he qualified
Easily one of the most talented players in history
What could have been if
He would have been more disciplined
And avoided the caprices of life
But...then again
That's part of his appeal!!
The music is wonderful
Maybe the most gifted golfer ever.
1991....good year....born that year so it was a good one for me.
this was something special
Gotta love this stuff!
16:31 giving away that ball like that is such a cool move. No ego there
He was full of mulletude! One of the best things to happen in golf!
I remember seeing Daly at the old tournament at Pleasant valley CC in Massachusetts...
I’ll never forget the sizzling sound the ball made when it left the face of the driver.
Incredible.
If I remember correctly he drove PAST the flag on 2 of the par 4 holes.
What a player.💪👍
It’s amazing how much Little John Daly looks like John in this
I don’t care what anybody says about John, he is a CHAMPION, I challenge anybody to stay composed when playing golf, he had some issues in life and will tell it like it is, no excuses straightforward man and I respect that also
JOHN DALY: CLASS
JACK NICHOLAS: CLASS
CRAIG STADLER: CLASS
THREE OF THE GREATEST MEN IN GOLF
ALSO LEE TREVENO, chi chi Rodríguez, Arnold Palmer
Beautifully written.
Amen brother
Back to a time when Spalding and Tommy Armour were major brands . . .
Such a good broadcast. Just shut up and watch.
Have to wonder what kind of career he could have had if he hadn’t been so crazy, lol, loved watching him!
Bunny eared this on the ole tele while visiting my GPOP up in the family Maine cabin...we weren't allowed to move for fear of disrupting the TV. Gramps was "all in" for Daly...such an awesome backstory for this one
I see it now Rickie fowler is rocking the john daly style
Fowler needs to go out and win 2 majors!
@@DanielSong39 fowler needs to start smoking
Legend.
how exciting for him
toughest course on earth.
crushed it❣❣❣❣❣😇😇😇
Definitely favourite golfer
12:00 I just get the vibe that in 91 the crowds were way cooler to be around than 2022. The way that dude timed that line was legit perfect. lol.
Then at 12:20 we see where it starts to decline into what it is today. "GET IN THE HOLE!" lolol
Golf is above all other sports, when it comes to atmosphere and feel good. The elevator muzak when the camera goes to the birds eye view over the course. The large crowd that gathers and the players themselves. The dress code and the beautiful scenery at the golf course.
No other sport comes even close.
I love watching him play very talented
I love the Mississippi MudFlap
This guy wasn't even supposed to be playing in the tournament that week. He was the NINTH ALTERNATE. Let that sink in. He only got in after Nick Price's wife went into labor the day before the championship started and that's why he got Price's caddy, Squeaky. What an incredible & improbable feat by someone who is now one of the most popular names in the game of golf today.
John Daly's golf ball would be priceless today. I wonder who owns that PGA championship ball
Daly is the definition of "This guy fucks!". The definition of not taking shit too seriously as well.
Tiger has the pure skill and Phil has the greatest creativity, but as far as the most purely talented golfer of all time I think this guy ranks right up there
Daly is the only professional golfer to play the game like a casual weekender just enjoying himself and still win on tour.
I mean dude he threw his first pga tour winning ball into the crowd lol
Daly was the 9th Alternate
There goes my hero!
I’m not a golf fan. I’m here because of a Howard Stern interview. Daly is such an interesting character, that when the interview was done, this video popped up. I watched it.
And Holy Moses.... I am a sports fan by definition but this was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. When that fella made that pretty putt on Hole 18, with that fucking broomstick of a Putter. The announcer said Daly had a 3 stroke lead after the putt (I may not like Golf but I know the vernacular) and even he said he didn’t like Daly’s chances of winning. Boy oh boy. I think I like golf now. Golf could use two or three more Daly’s. And!!! I was shocked to learn that Daly didn’t even practice the course prior to the Tournament.
This guy rules.
No one do the take-aways as far as Daly. He nearly touch the left leg in the backswing. Amazing.
Absolutlli absoluth my hat's off to y'all thanks a lot. Im using man sized clubs John Daly
