Golfer John Daly is known to like a wager or two but did you know he once threw $55,000 in gambling winnings off a bridge?<\/p>\n

Talk about throwing your money around: it seems Daly ejected the aforementioned sum through the window of his car into the Mississippi River after an argument erupted with his then-wife Sherrie over his gambling habits.<\/p>\n

This, incidentally, is the one he claims tried to stab him with a steak knife.<\/p>\n

The two-time Major winner recounted the tale on the Dan Le Bartard sports talk radio show on ESPN last week:<\/p>\n

“I won like $55,000 in the casino<\/a>, and I said to my fourth wife, Sherrie, if you’re going to yell and scream at me about this \u2026 I threw it over the bridge going over to Memphis from Arkansas<\/a>,” Daly explained.<\/p>\n

\n

“I threw all the money out the [car] window and said, ‘You know what, if you want that money, you can go find it. But let me tell you something: You don’t have a job. You’re not working. I’m supporting you. I’m paying all the bills.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Like Jesus\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n

Daly then got his \u201cbuddy\u201d to take her to McDonald\u2019s drive-thru for<\/span> two cheeseburgers, some French fries and a soda, which she presumably sipped while fantasizing about steak knives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like, \u2018OK, this is how you can live from now on if that’s the way you want it,\u2019 \u201d explained Daly triumphantly.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re starting to see why Sherrie was his fourth <\/i>wife, although when asked later in the interview if he had trouble finding the right person, he replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m like Jesus. My problem is I love \u2019em all.\u201d<\/p>\n

$55 Million in Gambling Losses<\/b><\/h2>\n

Of, course when we said Daly liked a wager or two, we should point out that the $55,000 he threw in the river was just a drop in the ocean. In fact, it was just one-thousandth of the amount he lost gambling in casinos during a 15-year binge.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daly announced in 2014 that he had pieced together his gambling losses over the period from tax returns, and it didn\u2019t make pretty reading; a net loss of $55 million, thrown over a metaphorical bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went through all my tax records to find out, because I really didn’t know, and it just came to that. I was shocked,\u201d said Daly at the time. \u201cI thought it might have been $20-25 (million), but I had no idea that it was $55-57 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s crazy,\u201d he added, as if anyone still needed convincing.<\/p>\n

Asked if he had regretted his behavior, he surprised the interviewer by confessing that, in fact, he had \u201chad a lot of fun.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
