Golfing legend John Daly rued “total loss and devastation” in the wake of Hurricane Helene last month. And some new footage shows what his residence looks like in the aftermath of the deadly weather pattern.
Helene ravaged the southeast in late September, causing major flooding in Florida, with the death toll understood to be in the hundreds.
Daly’s $1.4 million waterfront home in Clearwater, Fla., sustained damage, prompting the golfer to take to social media with claims of losing everything.
The New York Post shared a video, shown below, that shows the damage.

“The snaps Friday show the golf fan favorite’s million-dollar-plus home in Clearwater still standing, although at least part of the single-story stunner was apparently gutted and its floors warped,” the Post’s Kate Sheehy said.
“Piles of ruined furniture and stuffed black plastic garbage bags sit on the curb in front of the three-bedroom, two-bath property, which is worth more than $1.4 million, according to online real estate sites.”
Social Media Isn’t Buying John Daly’s Story
Maybe there’s a lot more than meets the eye, but it does seem that Daly exaggerated a bit when he claimed to have lost everything, although it looks like a lot of his stuff was ruined.
“That is not devastation,” someone pointed out.
“It looks like his wife kicked him out,” another user wrote.
“That’s devastation? Wow,” a comment read.
John Daly spoke to PGATour.com in an interview earlier this week and expressed gratitude over his family’s safety.
“I’m just glad everyone is healthy, that’s the main thing,” he said. “You live in Florida, you have to understand that’s going to happen, but not like this. I didn’t think it would be this bad.”
Reports note that over 200 people were killed as a result of the hurricane, which also caused an estimated $200 billion in total damage.
