I won The Open Championship in 1995, now I write and record my own music and am obsessed with Hooters | The Sun

IT'S fair to say that John Daly is not your average golfer.

The 57-year-old veteran has delighted fans for decades, winning two Majors during the 1990s.



While he has not been in the winners' circle so much in recent years, Daly has continued to delight fans with his eclectic antics.

Known as "Long John", the golf favourite is a keen musician.

He has released three albums to date, and has also provided backing vocals to the likes of Kid Rock.

Willie Nelson even provided guest vocals for his 2002 debut album "My Life".

Last month he crashed a Kenny Chesney concert at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open in New York by riding his golf buggy into the pit.

When he's not playing his guitar or swinging his golf club, Daly loves a trip to Hooters.

While competing at last year's PGA Championship, Daly popped over to the American fast-food chain for chicken wings.

He posed with the Hooters waitresses during his trip, just as he had done at the Masters.

Waitress Madalynn Grace shared a photo of herself and a bearded Daly posing to her Instagram account.

Her accompanying caption read: "I told @pga_johndaly he was a badass… he said I was too."

The 1995 Open Championship winner has gained notoriety for his unusual athlete's diet.

He once went an 18-hole round drinking only diet coke – with no water.

While at the 2008 Wyndham Championship he astonishingly guzzled 12 Diet Cokes and six packets of peanut M&Ms.

He has also been known to puff on a cigarette while practising on course.

And fans love his fashion sense, as he often wears colourful floral trousers.

Daly's last PGA Tour triumph came all the way back in 2004.

But he continues to win over fans with his personality.
