The best photos of John Daly being John Daly

In honor of one of golf's biggest, boldest characters, we present our favorite photos of the one and only John Daly. From major championship triumphs to celebrity run-ins, Big John has been there, done that and lived to tell the tale.

1. Rebel without a cause

I'm sure John Daly knows the rules. But he doesn't give a damn about them.

2. Long John meets Tall Yao

That Yao and Daly don't have a buddy-buddy cop show is our generation's greatest failure.

3. Daly and the Blowfish

Hey, Daly's hanging out with Hootie and the Blowfish! What could go wrong?

4. Daly and the Blowfish, Part 2

On a related note, the band went on hiatus shortly after this photo was taken.

5. Party in the front ...

Only Andre Agassi, Kenny Powers and (insert any Canadian hockey player from the '80s here) owned better mullets than JD.

6. "Long Kielbasa" doesn't have the same ring

I think this was a promotional shoot, but judging by the drink in his hand and ease with the tongs, pretty sure Daly turned this into a real BBQ.

7. Sky shot

I know Dubai is miles in the distance ... but I truly believe Daly was trying to clear those skyscrapers.

8. Captain America

All this photo is missing is a majestic eagle and fireworks.

9. Rock stars

For once, Daly is not the longest hitter, or worst singer, in the group.

10. Ladies man

Not sure if this is the restaurant's entire staff, or just the waitresses assigned to Daly's table.

11. The claret jug

The photo was taken the day after Daly won the 1995 Open Championship. Guessing he's on the beach to wash out all the spirits that were in the claret jug from the night before.

12. The long toss

Daly has been known to loss his temper a time or too, like when he riffled his iron into Lake Michigan at the 2015 PGA Championship.

13. Jet ski John

You're damn right this is my new desktop background.

14. Trendsetter

Fun fact: this photo made wearing baseball hats backwards cool.

15. Spongebob slacks

Critics will say this ensemble was a marketing ploy. Personally, I think the dude just digs the show.

16. Expensive pants

John Daly is always carrying cash.

17. Presidential pals

If JD Vance doesn't work out, maybe another JD will be vice president.

18. Bird man

Frankly, it would be weird if a falcon wasn't perched on John Daly's arm.

19. The easiest game of "Where's Waldo?"

What can we say? The guy sticks out in a crowd.

20. So much for being parallel

My back just gave out looking at this photo.

21. Jack and John

John Daly's face says, "Hell yeah! I'm playing with Jack freaking Nicklaus!" Jack's face says, "Somebody, please help."

22. Living in style

Nice place, right? Especially once you realize that's Daly's motorhome.

23. Wardrobe malfunction

It's rare for someone to be, ahem, more colorful in their clothing than Daly.

24. Smile, John

Never has one looked so solemn after winning a major.

25. Boys will be boys

We are going on a limb and saying gastrointestinal factors were at play.

26. Cup of kings

What good is a trophy if you can't drink from it, anyway?

27. Better than a ribbon cutting

Amazed more stores don't open with a golf-ball-through-glass-door ceremony.

28. Grip it and rip it

Hope you're sitting down: Daly did not take the safe route.

29. A man of the people

Truer words have never been written.
