People expect too much – John Dalys son shares | Golf News

John Daly II, son of skilled golfer John Daly, has urged followers and critics to ease the stress on Charlie Woods, son of 15-time main champion Tiger Woods.

Last yr, on the PNC Championship, younger Woods outperformed his father over 9 holes. “He beat me for nine holes,” Woods Sr. admitted to reporters, including: “He has yet to beat me for 18 holes. That day is coming. I’m just prolonging it as long as I possibly can.”

Naturally, this admission by {the golfing} legend fueled the hype surrounding Charlie. However, Daly II insists that expectations for Woods’ progeny must be moderated. Tiger, in the meantime, is aware of a factor or two about stress – with Masters chiefs even making their Augusta National course longer after the icon’s well-known win their in 1997.

Daly II, who not too long ago turned professional final yr, shared his ideas on the ‘Identity Sports Podcast’ final month. He believes he understands the pressures of residing up to a well-known title and cautions in opposition to burdening younger Woods with too a lot expectation.

“I get this question a lot, like what’s it like having John Daly as dad,” defined Daly II. “Honestly, how you view your dad is how I view mine. He’s just a father to me, he’s nobody else.

“He taught me mainly every part I do know… I feel these high expectations went round my head a few occasions, it used to, a minimum of. People expect simply because you have got a well-known skilled, like Tiger, for instance.

“Tiger and Charlie, I feel like everybody just put Charlie in this category that not many people get to until they are 20, 21, or 22, whatever it is. He’s just a kid, he wants to have fun, I guess. I don’t know him all that well but I think people expect way too much of him for his age right now. I definitely feel some of the stuff he is probably going through.”

Last yr, Tiger resonated with this sentiment concerning his son. Addressing the press, he urged Charlie to embrace his individuality: “I was always reminding him, ‘Just be you.’ Charlie is Charlie.

“Yes, he is my son. He’s going to have my final title, and it will be half of his core. But I simply need him to be simply himself and be his own individual. That’s what we are able to solely do.

“I always encourage it, for him to carve his own name, carve his own path and have his own journey,” he added. “I think he’s doing a great job. In this day and age where everyone is basically media, with all the phones, being constantly filmed and constantly people watching, that’s just part of his generation, and that’s part of the world that he has to maneuver through.”
