John Daly Withdraws from PGA Championship Due to Thumb Injury

The former champion posted an 11-over 82 in the first round at Valhalla before pulling out of the tournament.

Daly, a two-time major winner, won the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 Open Championship.
This marks Daly's third withdrawal from the PGA Championship, having last made the cut in 2012.
He is the only player permitted to use a cart during play due to osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes.
During the first round, Daly consumed two packs of cigarettes, four Snickers bars, and two Cokes.
Daly primarily competes on the Champions Tour, with his best finish this year being a tie for 60th.
