John Daly doesn’t play in the masters, but he still had a good week in Augusta.
Daly, 58, made a small fortune at a hooters located about a kilometer away from the masters and sold $ 40 hats, $ 10 autographed golf balls and $ 250 boxes of cigars, among other things.
Last year at Hooters, Daly’s team told ESPN that he had earned $ 780,000 on sale and it could increase this year due to the rain on Monday.
