John Daly enjoys gambling, but over time, it hasn’t been very kind to him.

Daly plays golf with a smooth, self-taught stroke that was designed for sheer strength and distance.

Daly’s severe arm and shoulder coiling causes him to swing his golf club back considerably farther than parallel, which results in an extremely quick club head speed on the downswing.

However, Daly’s golf swing has contributed to his inconsistency in performance during golf competitions because a strong golf swing requires almost perfect time to execute correctly.

Daly is well recognized for his support of several charities, including a number in northwest Arkansas.

He has made financial contributions to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and his high school.

Daly is a proponent of the University of Arkansas’s athletic departments. He got his distinctive “mullet” shaved, and the money he made from the occasion went to charity.

Daly frequently participates in the celebrity Pro-Am that his buddies Hootie & the Blowfish sponsor the Monday following the Masters.

In the book’s last chapter, he discusses his gambling issue.

He declared, “If I don’t stop gambling, it’s going to completely ruin me.”

How much did John Daly gamble away?

He described how he lost $50–$60 million through gambling in his autobiography, John Daly: My Life In and Out of the Rough.
