John Daly has an old habit of doing what his heart says. Be it drinking numerous cans of diet coke on the field, or heading straight to the casino after his match, the golfer doesn’t care about what the world thinks. Although he has always been honest about his habits, there is no stopping Daly from following his gut. And he once revealed how he came up with his own conditions before signing contracts with brands and sponsors.

John Daly disclosed his terms before signing a contract

Daly has a way of doing things differently from the people around him. His colorful pants have been the talk of the town since the beginning of his professional career. And his love for beer and cigarettes is highly understood by his fans. A similar way of looking at things differently for the golfer is when he signs new contracts.

‘Long John’ once revealed one of the most important things he keeps in mind before signing a contract with a new sponsor. “I’ve learned now that if somebody wants to tell me to do something, and that’s gonna be in the contract, then I don’t sign the contract,” Daly said. “I’ve learned to not take the money and be miserable.”. It is not surprising as Daly has had a record of doing things his way despite the terms of his contracts.
