Thursday marked John Daly’s 50th birthday—and potentially a major payday.
The veteran golfer posted the following tweet Thursday morning, which some might have taken as a complete joke:
THK U all 4 the bday wishes 2day ud83cudf89 I'm only "18" with "32" yrs of experience! Also $150 grand up from Fuzzy sayin I wouldn't make it to 50 ud83dude1c

Well, there is some history here.
According to USA Today’s Josh Peter, former pro golfer Fuzzy Zoeller once bet Daly that he wouldn’t live to see his 50th birthday.
