PGA Tour icon John Daly’s Florida home is completely destroyed in ‘devastating’ Hurricane Helene

PGA Tour icon John Daly was left devastated after Hurricane Helene tore through Florida last week.

The 58-year-old was one of many Americans affected by the catastrophic effects of the hurricane that ripped through the US.

More than 130 people were killed and millions lost power in the southeastern US states as emergency services continue to save lives, and the full extent of the damage is not yet known.

The professional golfer revealed that his home in the Sunshine State, along with other family members’ properties, was completely wiped out by the historic hurricane.

“It’s devastating,” Daly told PGATour.com on Wednesday while attending a PGA Tour Champions event at Timiquana Country Club in Jacksonville.

‘It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I hope everyone gets safe and gets their homes back. My heart just goes out to everyone.”

“We must have lost three, maybe four,” he said of his and his family’s homes.

“I just haven’t even gone back to mine yet,” he added. ‘I restructured and repaired it. I hadn’t been there in two years; I put all the stuff in there and then it’s all gone.’

In an Instagram post Thursday, Daly posted a radar screenshot of the storm while pointing an arrow at his home near Tampa. “Please be safe during Hurricane Helene,” he wrote next to the image.

On Friday, he gave an update on his family, writing on Facebook: “To everyone who has reached out, my family is all safe, but not all of our homes are like this as water is pouring out of every crevice.

‘Total loss and devastation after living here all my life! I still can’t imagine that we have lost EVERYTHING, but we are SAFE and everything can be replaced! Praise God!’

The next day, he accompanied former President Donald Trump to the Alabama-Georgia college football game in a luxury suite.

Daly wasn’t the only member of the golfing community affected, as footage earlier this week showed the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on Augusta National, the world’s most famous golf course.

The home of the Masters was hit by the “catastrophic and historic” hurricane late last week as it passed through Georgia, causing severe damage to the notoriously private club’s usually pristine grounds.

Now, new drone footage from YouTube user @MrHushpuppy has been shared from above Augusta National, giving golf fans an insight into how badly the famous course was hit by the storm.

As the drone flies past the famous entrance to Magnolia Lane, trees can be seen scattered across the road, blocking access to the trail.

In the main arrivals hall, in front of the clubhouse, more trees have fallen across the driveway, and in the background there is damage to the course itself.

However, the clubhouse appears to have survived major damage, making it unlikely that it will cost much money to repair any storm damage.

After the devastating storm, rebuilding begins at Augusta National and elsewhere.

States began a massive cleanup and recovery effort Sunday after wind, rain and storm surges destroyed roads and bridges, caused catastrophic flooding and left millions without power.

The devastation stretched across South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia – with officials fearing more bodies would be discovered.

After making landfall in Florida, Helene quickly passed through Georgia before drenching the Carolinas and Tennessee with heavy rain.

A small mountain town in North Carolina lies in ruins. Locals describe the community of Swannanoa as ‘completely obliterated’.

Over the weekend, estimates of damage caused by the hurricane ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion.
