HOW GOOD WAS JOHN DALY? When Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus talk about him, they do not laugh or dismiss his talent. Daly might be golf's biggest what if in the history of sport. Most people remember a wild thing. A drunk golfer. A character. But when the legends talked about him, they sounded shocked and amazed. Tiger admitted he would quit the gym forever if he had Daly's talent and natural gifts. He would abandon his entire discipline.

If that already makes you go no way, hit the Hype thing and give it some hype. It really helps. Alright, let's get into it.

John Daly won two major championships in his career. 1991 PGA Championship and 1995 Open Championship. Just two major titles. But the way other golfers talked about him, you would think he won twenty majors. The legends did not see him as a guy who merely won two majors. They saw him as someone who should have won twenty and chose not to.

Number 5: Gary Player called him the most naturally talented player he ever saw. Gary Player. The Black Knight. The inventor of modern golf fitness. He looked at John Daly and said this guy is the most gifted I have ever witnessed. If Daly had Tiger Woods' work ethic, he would have been the greatest player in history. Not the greatest what if. The greatest player. Player saw a man who could win majors while overweight and out of shape. Player was frustrated. Like looking at a Ferrari being driven off a cliff.
