John Daly is being evaluated at the Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., after collapsing at a golf course on Saturday, according to Yahoo Sports.

The 49-year-old gold pro was playing at the Deerfield Golf Club and collapsed at the 18th tee box. Deerfield club pro Leigh Brennan told David Brandt of The Associated Press that Daly was struggling with the heat (it was roughly 90 degrees in Jackson on Saturday) and had difficulty breathing.

Daly is known for being one of the most outspoken and colorful players on the PGA tour. His last tour appearance saw him miss the cut at the PGA Championship on Aug. 13-16 at the Whistling Straits golf course in Kohler, Wis.
