John Daly lost a year's worth of Nauru

The Foul Pole

John Daly has estimated in his forthcoming book that he has lost about $50-60 million due to his gambling addiction.

He must be hanging out with Sergio on the tour however, since his Spanish is very strong.

"My sponsorship payments would be coming through in January, so I'd be able to pay everything off and get back to even by the beginning of the new year. Everything's fine. Everything's OK. No problema. Hell, yes, there's a problema."

Now we wanted to get a feel for exactly how much $60 million is since the only time we see that much money is when we pass the billboards with the latest Illinois Lottery figures on it. So being good journalists, the CIA reports that the little country of Nauru in the South Pacific has a gross domestic product of about $60 million.

did he really make that much money as a golfer? I can't imagine that number is correct.

Oh, I'm sure it's correct. The money that he makes from endorsements is incredible. Hooters, 84 lumber, Callaway, etc.

I probably gambled on a line of credit anyway.

My guess is that he lost it betting on which stylist could make him look the least like the most unathletic 8-year-old ever.

There is no way he's lost that much cash. ESPN's Woody Paige said yesterday that since 1989 he has earned a total of 8 mill on the tour, and say his apperence fee is 2 mill a year...there is no way he could amount to anywhere near 60 mill with that. And no way does he get that much in endorsments.
