John Daly has a new Masters week deal in Augusta after longtime Hooters tradition
John Daly’s Masters-week tradition in Augusta isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s getting bigger. Topgolf announced a multi-year partnership with the two-time major champion that will bring Daly back to its Augusta, Georgia, location during Masters week in 2027 and 2028, extending a relationship that began with his appearances there in 2026.

Augusta television station WRDW reported that Top Dawg Tavern, located almost directly across the street from the former Hooters where Daly once parked his RV, would host him during Masters
