The newest member of PGA Tour Champions says he is just happy he made it to the age of 50. John Daly has been a crowd favorite since he shocked the golf world in 1991 by winning the PGA Championship after driving to the tournament as an alternate. He added a British Open title in 1995. Daly will play the Principal Charity Classic in Des Moines next month and says the Tour Champions has given a new start to a career that has featured more off the course troubles than wins.

Daly will debut on the senior circuit this week in Houston but he is not guaranteeing instant success. Through all of his difficulties Daly has remained a popular figure and always draws a lot of fans wherever he plays.

The Principal Charity Classic in June 3-5 at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines.
