With gambling rising in popularity, there’s been speculation the type of match-fixing that has tainted other sports might not be far behind in golf. According to John Daly, at least, it’s been a factor in golf for some time.

In a 2016 interview, the two-time major champ says he was offered $1 million to tank the 1995 Open, which happens to be the same year he won the claret jug.

It seems like Daly is implying that someone offered him $1 million to tank the tournament so the gambler could win a matchup bet (or multiple wagers) against Daly.

As Daly says, golf has long has prided itself on a code of integrity, but it also doesn’t hurt that the legitimate money has skyrocketed enough in the decades since Daly’s win to diminish the influence of potential fixers.
