John Daly once tossed $55K from car window just to make a point

John Daly's stories are the stuff of legend, and thankfully, he's got plenty of them to tell.

Daly joined ESPN Radio's "The Dan Le Batard Show" on Thursday, recalling the time he threw $55,000 in cash out the window of his car just to prove a point to his then-wife, Sherri.

I won like $55,000 in the casino and I said (to Sherri), if you're going to yell and scream at me about this, I threw it over the bridge going over to Memphis from Arkansas. 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.'

My buddy (then) took her to a McDonald's drive-thru and got her two cheeseburgers and some french fries and a soda, and (it was like), 'OK, this is how you can live from now on if that's the way you want it.'

Sherri corroborated the story in her book, "Teed Off: My Life as a Player's Wife on the PGA Tour," which she released in 2011. She said she returned to pick up the cash and was able to retrieve almost all of it.
