JOHN DALY is enjoying the company and food of Hooters' girls, as well as a few chicken wings at the PGA Championship.

56-year-old veteran golfer started off well and ended the day at one over par.

Over the years, he has earned a reputation for his healthy eating habits. After Thursday's play, he decided to eat chicken wings from Hooters.

Daly took another photo with the thinly clad serve - exactly like he did at The Masters last week.

The 1995 Open champion is not afraid to consume unhealthy food. He once played an 18-hole round while drinking diet coke and no water.

The 2008 Wyndham Championship Daly saw 12 diet cokes consumed and six packets peanut M&Ms eaten.

He smoked 21 cigarettes between shots. And he's still smoking strong well into his fifties.

Daly's striking appearance had golf fans talking again about him on Day One of the PGA Championship.

His huge, scraggly mustache caught our attention, but not as much as his floral pants, which were embellished with skulls.

Daly was relaxed and calm during practice at the range. He smoked a cigarette as he hit the fairway with his golf clubs.

Fans were thrilled to see Daly back in Top 10 on a Major leaderboard, and even more delighted by his carefree attitude.

One wrote: John Daly has reached god status at this moment.

Another comment: "John Daly is currently tied for third at the PGA Championship. Swinging away with a cig between his lips is my spirit animal.

One TV viewer was impressed and commented, "John Daly is truly the greatest athlete all-time."
