Golf legend John Daly slides down desert hill in viral golf video

Golfing great John Daly shared a hilarious moment that could have been more serious after watching a video he posted on social media, calling himself a “jacka–.”

Daly was on a desert lot at La Paloma Country Club for the Cologuard Classic when he was attempting to hit a shot onto a green when he lost his footing.

As he tried to gain traction in the sand, Daly’s feet fell out from under him and he slid down a long desert hill. Several people got involved, voluntarily jumping down the hill to see if Daly was okay.

Daly escaped unscathed, but he enjoyed putting the theme music from the “Jackass” franchise on the video to share with the general public.

“Bellyfloppin’ in the desert,” Daly captioned the video, while shouting to his caddy, Joel Cooley, who sprang into action to see if his partner was okay at the bottom of the hill.

“In today’s episode of ‘jacka**'” was also seen at the top of the video.

Even if he is not used to showing his stomach, Daly remains a key figure in golf.

He spends most of his time on the Champions Tour course, which features former PGA Tour players ages 50 and older. His most recent round came on Sunday, where he finished tied for 29th with a 6-under tournament at the Cologuard Classic.

Daly was just named the 2026 Golf Ambassador Award winner ahead of the Kaulig Companies Championship at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. The award recognizes those who make an impact on the course as well as their communities off the course.

“I have always loved this game and what it has given me,” he said in a press release for the award. “Golf has taken me to places I never imagined and introduced me to incredible people along the way. Receiving the Golf Ambassador Award is truly an honor, and I am proud to support the meaningful work being done here in Northeast Ohio.”
