John Daly will play father-son challenge against Jack Nicklaus in December
The Dalys and the Nicklauses will tee it up in December
John Daly and his son Little John (I believe this is a real name) against Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II in a team golf event this December? Yeah, I'm all in on that.
The event is the PNC Father-Son Challenge, and it will host 20 teams including Vijay Singh, Lanny Wadkins, Bernhard Langer, David Duval and their sons on Dec. 8-11 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida.
This will be the Dalys' first time to compete. Little John is just 13 years old. He does seem to have a knack for the camera like his pops, though. He made this video of himself hitting a ball off a soda bottle earlier this year.

"I have said many times before that the PNC Father-Son is one of the most anticipated events of the year for me," Nicklaus said. "It gives me a chance to catch up with a lot of friends and a rare chance to tee it up with one of my sons. People always ask me what my dream foursome would be, and I always say I would try to bend the rules and play as a fivesome so all four of my sons could come along.
"So to be able to partner with my son Jack II in a fun but competitive environment, such as the Father-Son, is going to make for a great couple of days. I was looking at the incredible field they have assembled again this year and I see several fathers who are actually younger than my son. At a combined age of 130 years, is it too late for us to ask for shots?"
Big John is one of those fathers as he just turned 50. Nicklaus' son is 55. This should be some must-see TV with a legendary family in the Nicklauses and maybe an even more legendary family in the Dalys.
