John Daly Announces He Underwent Surgery for Bladder Cancer
Professional golfer John Daly said on Golf Channel's PGA Tour Champions Learning Center show that he underwent surgery for bladder cancer.
"(The urologist said) it doesn't look like any stones are in there. But unfortunately, you have bladder cancer," Daly said per Golf Channel's Will Gray.
"After I did the CT (scan) I was fixing to sip on my Diet Coke and he said, 'Don't drink anything. We have to get you back in here and get this cancer out of you.'"
Daly has suffered from kidney stones and back pain recently, per Gray, and removed himself from the Champions Tour's Charles Schwab Series event field at Ozarks National in Ridgedale, Missouri. That tournament took place from Aug. 24-26.
