Chain-smoking John Daly’s crazy on-course diet at PGA Championship stuns fans before he wolfs down wings at Hooters

JOHN DALY has been enjoying the company of Hooters’ girls and chowing down on chicken wings at the PGA Championship.

The veteran golf star, 56, got off to a good start and finished the day one over par.

He has built a reputation for his diet choices over the years and after Thursday’s play he unwound by devouring chicken wings at Hooters.

Daly then took a photo alongside the scantly clad serves – just as he did at The Masters last month.

The 1995 Open champion is no stranger to consuming unhealthy food, and once went an 18-hole round drinking only diet coke – no water.

At the 2008 Wyndham Championship Daly drank 12 diet cokes and ate six packets of peanut M&Ms.

Most striking of all, he even smoked 21 cigarettes between shots, yet is still going strong well into his fifties.

And Daly had golf fans talking about him once again on day one of the PGA Championship due to his striking appearance.

A huge, scraggly beard caught the eye but perhaps not as much as his floral trousers, which were adorned with skulls.

Daly was suitably laid back during practice on the range, smoking a cigarette while he smashed balls down the fairway.

Fans were delighted to see Daly back in the top 10 of a Major leaderboard – and even more taken with his carefree attitude.

One wrote: “John Daly is reaching god status at this point.”

Another added: “John Daly currently tied in third place at the PGA Championship, swinging away with a cig in his mouth is my spirit animal.”

And one impressed TV viewer commented: “John Daly truly is the greatest athlete of all-time.”
