Daly said as long as he’s going through it and not his children, he can handle it.

“Hey, I’m just dealing with it. You just deal with it and you try to work around all these injuries and everything, try to play the best you can.”
As for his golf game, Daly admitted that his health question does not allow him to play at the level he once did.
“I can’t set goals for golf anymore. Fighting bladder cancer and all that is rubbish with all operations, it’s not an excuse. It’s just no one can play well when they’re not healthy,” Daly said.

“I’ll get out there and I’ll do my best I can. But I still want to play golf. I still want to play on the Champions Tour. I just want to compete better, and right now there’s no way I can.
“But I keep grinding it out because you never know. It puts warm. … I don’t care if you have an arm, a leg it puts hot, you can play something really good golf because we all hit it well.”
