‘They Call Me the NASCAR Guy’: John Daly Once Recalled a Funny Story Involving Tiger Woods

John Daly is among the famous names in golf. He is probably more famous off the course than in playing golf tournaments. As a result, the 56-year-old professional has brand endorsements from various huge companies. Moreover, in 2006, Daly spoke about the same and revealed a funny incident involving Tiger Woods.

The five-time PGA Tour winner appeared on the Howard Stern Show on May 17th, 2006. Moreover, the host of the show and Long John talked about Daly’s book “My Life In and Out of the Rough.”. Howard discussed Daly’s gambling issues. At the same time, Daly reflected on his four marriages and much more. Apart from talking about his lifestyle and his love for gambling, the two-time major championship winner also narrated a funny story about himself and Tiger Woods.

Daly, famous for his long drives off the tee, spoke about how he once played an event with Tiger and Phil Mickelson and how the 15-time major championship winner made a funny comment about his shirt at the Battle at the Bridges in 2004. At the same time, he also revealed what they called him on the PGA Tour due to his brand endorsements.

Daly said, “I’m like they call me the NASCAR guy with all the logos on my shirt.” Moreover, the host of the sport asked him about losing an endorsement due to gaining weight. To which John replied, “I actually lost weight a little bit but then what was funny is I was playing the battle at the bridges two years ago with Tiger, it was me, Tiger, and Phil.”

He added, “I had the TrimSpa on the chest and I had Dunkin Donuts on the right sleeve. And Tiger goes that’s really good JD you got Dunkin Donuts and TrimSpa. And then Daly replied to Woods and said, “Hey it beats AA and Miller Lite.”
