Everyone knows that golfer John Daly has a few vices.
It seems that gambling may be his biggest vice.
In a new interview with Yahoo's Graham Bensinger, Daly claims he lost approximately $55 million between 1991 and 2007.
When asked how something like that could happen, Daly offered a simple, one-word answer: "stupidity."

...and the rest of it, he just wasted.
It’s his money. Good for him. Of course now he will have to pay the consequences of MAYBE having to cut back on some things but otherwise good for him. It is his money.
Practice makes perfect.
Let’s see, that’s drinking, gambling and overeating. What else you got there, John?
I spent most of my money one booze, drugs and women... The rest I wasted!

It’s his money, but I can still call him an idiot.
Yep
WOW! That’s a lot. I hope he enjoyed spending his money.
(now I don’t feel so bad. I think I’ll hit the casino tomorrow.)
He’s blown through a lot more money than he ever made on the PGA tour. More likely lost his fortune from Loudmouth clothing line.

Hey John, I’ll bet you 50 million that you do not win the US Open.
He had a giant Wilson contract back in the day. He’s never been without sponsors. I’ve met him a few times and knew a friend of his from Arkansas golf. He’s what you’d think he’d be.
So, how much has he won? Is 55 mil in the hole his net figure?
1. He's a has been and nobody in the sporting world could care less.
2. He's white and a has been and nobody in the sporting world could care less.
3. Puritans only condemn for sexual indiscretions........
His earnings for the PGA was a little over $10 million and the European Tour just
under $2 million. So he’s lost a lot of cash from some other sources, endorsements,
etc I’d guess? Maybe still owes a lot of the losses?
Clearly, Daly has an addiction problem and if you take one addiction away from him, he’ll just find another one. Naturally, all the money will be spent pursuing whatever the addiction is where it is booze, gambling, drugs, nicotine, food, sex addiction, etc. He has a compulsion disorder he either can’t or won’t control. I’m surprised he is still alive the way this man lives. Good thing for him he is a famous and charismatic (to some) professional golfer or he’d be just another dead junkie somewhere.
