Daley played on the Nationwide Tour in 1997 and 1999 to 2009. He earned his PGA Tour card in 1996 and 1998 and played in 60 events on the major tour. His best finish was a tie for sixth at the 1996 B.C. Open. In the 2000 PGA Tour Q-School tournament, he rolled in a five-foot putt during the fourth round, only to have the ball pop out of the off-center cup and back onto the putting surface.

He played the Nationwide Tour again in 2008 and had three top-10 finishes, including third place at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship. His low round is a 64 at the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open. He completed the year at 59th on the money list with $113,597 in winnings so he retained his Nationwide Tour card for the 2009 season. This marked the sixth straight season that Daley earned his full-time Nationwide card. He made the cut in 14 out of 27 events in 2008, and was 10th in driving accuracy at 73.22%.
