“I’m like Lazarus — I keep coming back from the dead,” Daly said. “Waking up is a win for me.” Daly is still determined to play on the senior PGA Tour Champions circuit, even skipping next week’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow to play on PGA Tour Champions’ first major of the year, The Tradition in Birmingham, Ala.
