Two-time major winner John Daly said Thursday that he has been diagnosed with bladder cancer.

The 54-year-old told Golf Channel that he received the diagnosis from his doctor after battling kidney stones.

"[The urologist said] it doesn't look like any stones are in there. But unfortunately, you have bladder cancer," Daly said. "After I did the CT [scan] I was fixing to sip on my Diet Coke and he said, 'Don't drink anything. We have to get you back in here and get this cancer out of you.'"

Daly underwent successful surgery to remove the cancer, but doctors told him there's a high likelihood it will return.
