www.dailymail.co.uk, May 16, 2024
On opening day, a photo of the 58-year-old driving his cart around the course at Valhalla went viral on social media. However, many were puzzled by the caddie carrying his clubs on foot.

Mystery members, trees with no birds… and a queue for John Daly at Hooters. Augusta is marvellous, fun - and very weird

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 13, 2024
RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT AUGUSTA: John Daly is back in Augusta and the local Hooters is happy to have him. We know that because a sign outside their restaurant on Washington Road, around a mile from a very different kind of establishment, carries a message: Meet John Daly Here All Week. And that is precisely what folk do, queuing around the bend until they meet their puffing, chugging master of chaos. But he seemed a little less welcome a year ago. A few of us had gone to make the annual inquiries around golf's wildest thing and he was nowhere to be seen at the spot he frequented for 26 years. The table where he sells his autographs and gear was gone. The motorhome in the parking lot was gone. His packs of Marlboros, his diet cokes, all gone. So what happened? What had driven away the 57-year-old winner of two majors, whose presence on this strip had become every bit as familiar as the monuments to artifice down the road?
