It is well known that John Daly is very often on the news for matters involving his personal life. ‘Long John’ is famous for the otherworldly stories that surround him. So it might not be wrong to guess that the world of sports is as amused by his playing technique as it is with his relationship with money.

John Daly and his carelessness in dealing with money
Not so long ago, Daly was in the news for throwing money off of the bridge during a feud with his ex-wife, Sherri Daly. This incident was confirmed by his then-partner later in her book titled, ‘Teed Off: My Life as a Player’s Wife on the PGA Tour’.
Apparently, Daly threw a hefty amount of $55,000 off of the bridge. He had won the money at a casino in Las Vegas. During an argument with Sherri, John threw the money out the window.

According to John, “I won like $55,000 in the casino and I said (to Sherri) 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 (car) 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.’

John and his forever unsteady love life
All set to marry for the fifth time, Daly’s love life has always been a rollercoaster. His luck with love is a matter of discussion within the sports world. When Daly was asked if he was struggling to find the right one, he smiled and said, “No, I’m like Jesus. My problem is I love ’em all.”
This reply surely was a well-thought one. However, the personal upheavals he faces on the daily basis are sometimes not so well thought out.
