John Daly recently announced that he's partnering with Splash Sports to run an exciting contest for the upcoming 2025 Masters. A lucky participant would get the chance to play a round of golf with Daly.

The ace golfer posted a video on his Instagram page and shared a story on Tuesday, April 8. He talked about the contest, saying:

"What's better than watching one of the biggest golf events of the year? Watching it with a chance to win serious cash and a shot to play a round of golf with me."

He explained that the contest had $350K cash in total prizes, with the winner getting a staggering $100K. One lucky partcipant would get to "talk birdies face to face" with Daly himself. He also promised a couple of Good Boy Vodkas, his alcohol brand, that they could drink together. To participate, fans had to go to Splash Sports' website.

John Daly also mentioned in the video caption that he would give a signed flag to one lucky person who replied to the post and tagged two of their friends. However, the winner of the signed flag had to be from the US and above 21 years of age.
