Daly’s £600k haul you can eat
Golf bad boy John Daly raked in £600,000 at Augusta despite not playing at the Masters – thanks to HOOTERS, writes ANTHONY CHAPMAN.
Daly, 58, put himself on the map with victory at the 1991 PGA Championship, becoming a fan favourite with his controversial diet of soda, booze, chocolate and cigarettes has made him a fan favourite for years.
Daly continues to impress as part of the Champions Tour. But he is now cashing in at the latest edition of the Masters.
Daly is not playing at this year’s tournament. Indeed, his last appearance at Augusta came almost two decades ago.
But after raking in £600,000 last year, Daly is back in town again. And it’s all thanks to popular restaurant chain Hooters.
Daly is a big fan of the eatery, which is famed for its scantily-clad waitresses and bargain–priced wings.
In 2022, Hooters handed him an official promotional deal. And last year, he spent the entirety of the Masters at the Hooters venue in Augusta.
There, Daly flogged items to happy fans including hats, autographed golf balls and even boxes of cigars. It saw the ace rake in a whopping £600k. And the New York Post claims Daly’s team are confident of making an even higher sum this year.
