Daly was in desert terrain at the La Paloma Country Club for the Cologuard Classic, when he was trying to hit a shot onto a green when he lost his footing.

As he tried to gain traction in the sand, Daly’s feet fell from under him, and he slid down a long desert hill.

Multiple people got involved, voluntarily jumping down the hill to see if Daly was all right.

"Bellyfloppin’ in the desert," Daly captioned the video, while shouting out his caddie, Joel Cooley, who sprang to action to see if his partner was doing fine at the bottom of the hill.

"On today’s episode of ‘jacka**’" was also seen on top of the video.

While he doesn’t usually show off his bellyflopping, Daly remains a key figure in golf.

He spends most of his time on the course for the Champions Tour, which is former PGA Tour players 50 years and older.

His most recent round came on Sunday, where he finished tied for 29th with a 6-under tournament in the Cologuard Classic.

Daly was just named the 2026 Ambassador of Golf Award honoree ahead of the Kaulig Companies Championship at the signature Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.

The award recognizes those making an impact on the course as well as in their communities off the course.

"I’ve always loved this game and what it’s given me," he said in a press release for the award.

"Golf has taken me places I never imagined and introduced me to incredible people along the way.

To be recognized with the Ambassador of Golf Award is truly an honor, and I’m proud to support the meaningful work being done here in Northeast Ohio."
His larger-than-life personality has always been on display, even today in silly moments like these on and off the course.
