'Always Dreamed Of': John Daly Throws Hat In Ring For Gig Representing America

We need to make this happen. For John Daly, for golf, for America.

John Daly, a golfer who has claimed five victories on the PGA Tour and captured two major championships, has enjoyed some of the most thrilling moments in professional golf. However, throughout his career, he never got the chance to play for the United States in international team competition.

At 59 years old, Daly must accept that he remains the sole two-time major winner who has never been picked for a Ryder Cup team. That said, he remains eager to contribute to the prestigious competition that takes place every two years, preferably in the near future.

Given his lack of previous involvement in the Ryder Cup, it’s improbable that Daly would appear on any list of prospective captains for the U.S. team. Nonetheless, he remains enthusiastic about serving in a potential vice-captain role. In a conversation with Hard Rock Bet, Daly noted that the 2027 edition of the event, set to take place in Ireland, presents an ideal chance for him to participate.

Daly also voiced his support for Tiger Woods to lead the U.S. team as captain at the 2027 Ryder Cup — a possibility that has been circulating as a rumor for quite some time. (RELATED: Ja Rule Nearly Decapitates Fan With Horrible Shot After Declaring He’s ‘Best Hip-Hop Golfer’)

“I’d love to be a captain one day, but that ain’t never going to happen. But Tiger would be an unbelievable captain. I would love to be a co-captain or just be a part of it somehow,” Daly told Hard Rock Bet.

“I feel like I should have been on two teams, but it just didn’t happen. I didn’t play good enough, so I didn’t get on them. But to be a part of the Ryder Cup would be something I would love to do, whether it’s a co-captain or just be a part of it.

“I’d love to see it, put my input in, and hopefully help the guys. I think it’d be an experience for me that I’ve always dreamed of doing ever since I won the PGA Championship in 1991 … Just to be a part of it and wear something with the American flag on it,” continued Daly.

“Me, personally, I could care less about getting any gifts. I play for the flag of the United States, and I think that’s what I would put more into our team, like the European guys do.”

I have a hard time seeing John Daly at the Ryder Cup. We all know how golf is, but man, the thought of that is definitely exciting.
