�John Daly may play like the world's 734th best golfer, but in the popularity stakes the Wild Thing is still on a par with Tiger Woods,� wrote Iain Payten.
Can that really be true? I know Daly is popular, but I don�t see him as Tiger�s equal. Yet JD was worth at least $3 mil during his recent golf jaunt to the Southern Hemisphere, according to the article.
�Figures obtained by The Daily Telegraph show Daly's month-long trip delivered publicity and media exposure for Australian golf to the value of $3 million, and quite possibly in excess of that.�
For Daly, having a PGA Tour card appears to be irrelevant.
