John Daly hasn\u2019t played at the Masters since 2006, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the iconoclastic golfer from cashing in at Augusta.<\/p>\n
At a Hooters, located about a mile away from the golfers vying for the green jacket, the 58-year-old is raking in plenty of green of his own, hawking his own brand of golf merch.<\/p>\n
Daly\u2019s team told ESPN that last year, he made $780,000 selling $40 hats, $10 autographed golf balls and $250 boxes of cigars, among other wares \u2014 and they estimate it could be even more this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cEat some good food, smoke, sell some s\u2013t,\u201d Daly told the Worldwide Leader of his annual pilgrimage to the patio of the Augusta Hooters.<\/p>\n
Daly, who burst onto the scene in 1991 by winning the PGA Championship with long-bomb drives, became the bad boy of golf, known for smoking cigarettes, drinking beer and his unique sense of style \u2014 complete with mullet.<\/p>\n
It has long endeared fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohn Daly\u2019s my hero,\u201d one Augusta resident told ESPN. \u201cHe\u2019s the best, drunkest golfer there ever was.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his continual health issues \u2014 he battled bladder cancer in 2020 and has had 16 surgeries to fix various body parts \u2014 Daly remains a golf legend.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got more metal in me than the bionic man Lee Majors does,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019m still living, man. I\u2019m like Lazarus, I just keep coming back from the f\u2013king dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those who love him may have to settle for the next best thing: John Daly II.<\/p>\n
The golfer\u2019s progeny, now 21, has followed in his father\u2019s footsteps, first by joining the Arkansas golf team, and then, in 2022, signing an NIL sponsorship deal with Hooters.<\/p>\n
While fans take in the current generation of golfers playing on the hallowed Augusta grounds, the elder Daly knows where he and his legion prefer to hang out \u2014 all while he makes a little extra moolah, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI may never get in the Hall of Fame, but you know what? It seems like I\u2019ll always have the fans,\u201d Daly said. \u201cI love them, and they know that. We just connect. Blue-collar people are supposed to connect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
