Fan-Favourite John Daly Commits to Playing 2025 Rogers Charity Classic

CALGARY— Long John Daly is ready to ‘Grip it and Rip It’ in Calgary this summer, confirming he will play once again in the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic, August 11-17.

 Golf’s bad boy from Arkansas will make his fifth appearance at Canada’s lone PGA TOUR Champions stop.

One of the most colourful characters in professional sports, the two-time major champion and winner of five PGA TOUR titles is one of the most adored by golf fans around the globe, which has helped spike galleries over the last seven seasons since he began competing on the senior circuit.

“John Daly is one of a handful of players in professional golf who continues to be a needle mover,” said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director, Rogers Charity Classic. “John is exactly who fans of any sporting event want to come out and see. He is a colourful character that is very entertaining while interacting with his loyal fan base and still hits the ball a mile. Having John Daly commit to playing in Calgary once again takes our tournament to a new level.”
