Although he split ways with his wife, Daly has a close bond with his elder daughter, and spent holidays with her while she was growing up. In one of his interviews in May 2022 with PGA Memes, Daly opened up about his daughter, saying (via People magazine):

"She ran my shop for a lot of years. She wanted to move on and be a photographer."

He welcomed his second daughter, Sierra Lynn Daly, with his third wife, Paulette Dean, and then a son named John Daly II with his fourth wife, Sherrie Miller. His son plays golf as an amateur and has competed with his father in the popular father-son duo challenge, the PNC Championship. Notably, they won the event in 2021.

Last month, John Daly II shared a few pictures with his father on his Instagram account. He collaborated with Ridge and gifted a wallet to his father, and shared some snaps and videos on his Instagram account with the following caption:

"Nothing better than a round with pops. But that wallet? Had to go. 😅 Swapped it for a @ridge wallet—sleek, durable, and way more dad-proof. This Father’s Day, upgrade your old man’s wallet like I did. Trust me, he’ll thank you later! Oh, and ask him who won our last round."

John Daly II shares a strong bond with his father, and he often shares pictures with him on his Instagram account. They competed at the PNC Championship in 2024 and had a decent outing, settling in a tie for eighth place with Team Korda and Team Cink. Team Langer won the tournament last year.
