“I hit the ball as hard as I can. If I find it, I hit it again.” It’s unknown when John Daly said this, but this quote perfectly captures his persona. His long drives are just as famed as his antics off the course. He also has been playing golf for a very long time, having turned pro in 1987. His long career has made him one of the most known golfers, and hence, his net worth which is backed by his endorsements and career earnings is also somewhat impressive.

How much is John Daly worth in 2024?

Daly’s net worth is currently estimated to be $2 million by Celebrity Net Worth, however, there is much more to what meets the eye. Daly won tournaments before Tiger Woods completely changed the salary structure for golfers. From his participation in PGA Tour events, Daly has earned $10,270,681. It is believed that he has also made $1,777,330 from unofficial tournaments.

In his lifetime, Daly has lost more than $50 million in gambling. The golfer once threw $55,000 off a bridge because his “wife (Sherrie) was annoying him.” Shedding more light on the story, in 2016, on The Dan Le Batard Show, he revealed; “I won like $55,000 in the casino and I said (to Sherrie), if you’re going to yell and scream at me about this, I threw it over the bridge going over to Memphis from Arkansas. I threw all the money out the window and said, ‘You know what, if you want that money, you can go find it. But let me tell you something, you don’t have a job. You’re not working. I’m supporting you, I’m paying all the bills.’”

It sure did not end here, and Daly further mentioned that one of his friends took Sherrie to a fast-food chain to show her how things would be in another scenario, “My buddy took her to a McDonald’s drive-thru and got her two cheeseburgers and some french fries and a soda, and (was like), ‘OK, this is how you can live from now on if that’s the way you want it.’”
