John Daly, now 50, once took a $150,000 bet he wouldn't live this long

John Daly turned 50 on Thursday, and that means he should be $150,000 richer. So he says.

Daly told USA Today that years back, during Masters week at Augusta National, fellow PGA Tour pro Fuzzy Zoeller bet him $150,000 that he wouldn't live to see 50. They never shook on it, so Daly just wants to cash in with some free vodka.
