Infamous for His Unwanted Records, John Daly Once Revealed How Tiger Woods Gets Unfair Treatment on the Golf Course: ‘They’re Not on TV’

According to Daly, Tiger Woods is surrounded by microphones, mostly. So whenever he swears, he has to pay a fine. Many other players swear even more than Woods but are out of reach because they do not have microphones shoved into their faces. Daly said, “A lot of guys are using the same language, but they’re not on TV..” In the interview, the pro golfer revealed that the G.O.A.T. was way up regarding fines. Woods told the PGA Championship winner that he has “a long way to go to catch him.”

One of the most embarrassing incidents which led to a fine was the European Tour in February 2011. They fined Woods for spitting and disrespecting golf during the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic. The penalty was between £250 and £10,000, which was not a big deal for the then millionaire to pay. However, it did add a black spot to his image. 

According to Forbes, the 82 times PGA tour winner is a billionaire with a net worth of $1 billion. And according to ‘Celebrity Net Worth,’ Daly has a net worth of $2 million. So even if Woods surpassed Daly, he could pay the fines.  

How many times was John Daly fined?

In an interview earlier this year, Daly revealed the total amount he had to pay the golf tour for his actions. He could not tell the exact number of times, but the amount will leave you in shock. Daly owed around $180,000 to $200,000 in fines to the tour. 

He was fined a lot during the 90s, but after 2000, the amount decreased. Maybe the bad boy became the excellent boy of golf, and hence, no fine was imposed on the pro golfer.
