John Daly has given a concerning update about his physical health months after undergoing emergency surgery on his hand. In January, the 1991 PGA Championship winner revealed he’d gotten his 16th surgery in four years due to tangled tendons, which is an inflammation of the tendons between your muscles and bones.
