John Daly isn’t the most healthy guy in the world, to say the least, but it doesn’t seem to be holding him back too much. He just collected his first win the the Champions Tour last week at the age of 51, and his swing, by all accounts, has never looked better…

So what’s the secret to his longevity? Let’s delve into the archive and see what we can learn about his health and fitness habits.

“I only smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, not three, so I’ll be alright.”

“I don’t drink water. I hate water. I cannot stand drinking water.”
