Tiger Woods Jokes with John Daly at PNC Championship: 'Gym vs Bar'
A memorable exchange between golf legends Tiger Woods and John Daly occurred at the PNC Championship, highlighting their contrasting approaches to the sport.
The interaction referenced a 2004 encounter at the Target World Challenge, where Daly invited Woods for drinks at the clubhouse. Woods declined, heading to the gym instead, but remarked, "If I had your talent, I'd be doing the same thing you're doing."
Years later at the PNC Championship, Woods playfully called out to Daly, "I'll meet you in the gym." The two shared a warm hug, followed by Daly's witty response: "At least our gyms are three-letter words. Yours is g-y-m. Mine is b-a-r." Woods laughed in agreement.
The moment captured the essence of their different personalities and approaches to golf. Later that day, Daly demonstrated his unique style by taking just one practice shot on the range before declaring himself ready for his round.
The PNC Championship, a pro-relative scramble event, featured both legends playing alongside their sons - Woods with Charlie and Daly with John Daly II - at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
