He played his collegiate golf at the University of Arkansas before turning professional. He has played in one PGA TOUR and one Korn Ferry Tour event this year with his best finish at T37 in the PGA TOUR Puerto Rico Open in March.
 
“Joh Daly II has a bright future in professional golf. He hits it a mile. Just like his father, he will be a fan favorite,” said Sanders. “Tyler is a great player and a great story. Homegrown with a long-standing local history. We are excited to see the Boise fans rally behind him as he plays for local charities.”
