Myrtle Beach, S.C. – (September 3, 2013) – Over the last five years, former NGA TOUR member John Daly has been sporting some colorful clothing on the PGA, Web.com and European Tours with the help of Loudmouth Golf.

The company was established in 2000 by Scott “Woody” Woodworth, whose first design involved a children’s fabric with prints of Warner Brothers cartoon characters, which he had made by a local seamstress.
In 2009, Daly appeared wearing “loud” clothing and later entered a formal endorsement agreement with the company. Celebrities Alice Cooper, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell, Penny Marshall, Dennis Rodman, Anthony Anderson and many others have also donned the colorful clothing on the links.

The NGA has helped hundreds of professionals acquire their PGA TOUR, Euro, Web.com, and Champions Tour cards. In fact, NGA alumni have won an incredible Fifteen (15) “Major” Championships.
