It is not a secret that the American professional golfer John Daly has always surprised the golf world. From winning his first major as a ninth alternate on the field to his dietary preferences, fans experience a new side of the golfer every time they get to see him.

In his 30+ years of career, Daly has won more than 15 championship titles worldwide, including two majors. If not playing golf, the golfer is often spotted giving out autographs to fans or enjoying his free time at the Hooters outlets.

According to him, gambling is more interesting than any other activity as it always keeps one on the edge of their seat because of the intensity of the game. Notably, he revealed this through the documentary, Hit It Hard, by ESPN about the two-time major champion.

In the documentary, Daly revealed that he had won $40-45 million by gambling. Although the amount is huge, it didnt help the golfer to build a good net worth on his own. The main reason for it is because he had lost more millions than he has ever won!

According to him, he has lost $95-98 million while gambling. Therefore, he had more losses than wins in the activity that he loved more than anything at the time.
