Both incredible golfers. Both made a great deal of money through the game. But both have taken very different approaches to their game as well as their financial affairs.
The John Daly’s of the world are incredibly skilled, charismatic and rebellious.
They see having a caddy as a distraction. They don’t tend to plan too far ahead and they’re not prone to listening to advice.
The ‘Johns’ rely on their own strategy and mindset to perform at their best, the Jack Nicklaus’ are also talented and charismatic but are much more considered in their approach. They see a caddy as a partner, they take time to plan and are open-minded to seeking the following great advice.
The ‘Jaks’ see strategy and mindset as important, but know that having someone else to keep them on track will give them the best opportunity to achieve greatness. In the case of Jack and John, what’s most incredible is how their game on the course is so similar to their actions off the field too.
During his career, John amassed a whopping $10 million in winnings while Jack earned a respectable $6 million.
But after years of being the party guy on tour, John Daly’s net worth now sits at $2 million, and Jack’s? A huge $400 million.
John and Jack’s stories show that success has less to do with the financial starting point, and more to do with making smart decisions.
