John Daly will send your friends a (semi-harassing) message for $750

What do you get the golfer who’s already swapped drivers so often they forget the name of the one they’ve currently got in their bag?

How about a harassing birthday message from one of golf’s most colorful and charismatic figures.

A number of athletes and TV/movie stars are now on the website Cameo.com, where celebrities will read a short message to the person of your choice for a handsome fee.

John Daly will send someone a message via Cameo for $750.

Not only does Daly’s page insist he’ll do this for the sum of $750, but unlike many of the others who stick to a mild, happy script, Daly seems to relish in harassing those on the other end of the message.

Here’s an example of one of the messages Daly has listed on his page (which includes the title “Grip It & Rip It King”):

“Hey Brian … listen here, boy, I heard you’re a long hitter. Not like me, brother. I heard you think you can put away some vodka, not like me, brother. Maybe I’ll see you on the Senior Tour one day. Ah, probably not, OK? You degenerate, I love you. See you.”

The way Cameo works, different celebrities charge different fees for a quick message and will take up to seven days to create the short video. Other golfers on the site include Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald, who both charge $149 for a short message. Tom Lehman will leave a short message for $100 while Golf Channel host and former Symetra Tour player Blair O’Neal will do so for $99. A message from current LPGA star Lexi Thomson costs $50.
