John Daly took a step back from the 2025 PGA Championship to compete in the 2025 Regions Tradition. It was a decision that demonstrated Daly's growing commitment to the Senior Tour. His participation in the competition did not last long, as he withdrew after seven holes in the opening round.
While John Daly didn't explain the reason for his withdrawal, he did recently express how much fun he had there. On May 30, musician and songwriter Jamey Johnson shared a full vlog video from his stay at Regions Traditions.
In the caption, he tagged John Daly and Riley Green. Daly, interestingly, collaborated with Johnson on this reel, which showed how much fun the two of them had together during the pro-am before the tournament. The caption on the reel said:
"Regions Pro-AM with @rileyduckman @pga_johndaly @regionstradition Video by: @josephjcash X @colttv"
Jamey Johnson's visit to the Greystone Golf & Country Club in Hoover, Alabama, was not only enjoyable for him, but also for the fans. John Daly was also visible in the reel several times, taking some amazing photos and even laughing out loud during group conversations.
