Meet John.
John Daly II grew up with the most recognizable surname in golf, but his resume reads on its own. He played five seasons at Arkansas, won the 2025 Southern Amateur, and reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 U.S. Amateur.
His PGA Tour debut came at the 2026 Puerto Rico Open, where he opened 70-67-70 and sat in contention entering Sunday. He turned professional that June and made the cut in his first Korn Ferry Tour start, and he has since added DP World Tour appearances.
At Rams Hill, Daly joins Team Grant as the stop's wildcard for the back nine.
