John Daly is so fired up for March Madness that he’s giving tactical advice to head coaches

Former Arkansas golfer, John Daly, has never been shy in getting truly involved with his passions, and recently he’s been advising current head men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman on practice drills.

Rarely a shrinking violet, the 56-year-old has been bigging up the Razorbacks on his Twitter feed, and has now offered his advice on improving their free throws.




Despite being in action at last week’s Champions Tour event, the Hoag Classic, Daly’s focus was clearly on getting his ‘Hogs’ to continue their form in the March Madness.

Although Daly had issues with his golf coaches when at college – from where he qualified for the 1986 U.S Open – his loyalty to the college is clear, and Musselman revealed just how much he wants to help continue another great run, his side having beaten the number one seed, Kansas, to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.

After the one point victory, Musselman revealed Daly’s ‘tips’:

“He tried calling me, got a couple of texts already,” Coach confirmed. “Before we hit the plane, I will try to call John. He’s been texting me drills. Like he wanted our guys to get a putter out and hit a ball into a cup,” he revealed. “We haven’t tried it yet. Luckily we’ve been making foul shots, but I know that the state of Arkansas is on fire right now. I know John Daly is pretty pumped up, too.”




Although his golf performances have been less than satisfactory, the two-time major champion always seems to make the news.

He won the 2021 PNC Championship, a father-offspring made-for-tv event, and a year later made a claim that “If I knew that I was going to live this long, I would have taken worse care of myself.” a reference to an extraordinary lifestyle that seems to show no signs of slowing down despite age and injury.

For now, expect more support for his Hogs on social media, and maybe live at upcoming games.
