Overview
- During Sunday's final round in Tucson, Daly lost his footing on a steep bank at La Paloma and bellyflopped into a penalty area, a marked hazard under golf rules.
- His caddie, Joel Cooley, slid down the hill and helped him back up after the tumble.
- Daly shared the video on Instagram with the caption "On today’s episode of Jacka**" and credited Cooley in a note about "bellyfloppin’ in the desert."
- He appeared unhurt and completed the PGA Tour Champions event at six under, tying for 29th in his first start of 2026.
- Coverage mixed humor with concern as outlets noted reports of 16 surgeries in four years, though no new injury was reported.
