John Daly is arguably the most interesting man in the history of golf. The beers, the cigarettes, the god-given talent and his impeccable mullet.

Now, his story is set to be told on the big screen.

According to a report from Above the Line, movie superstar Jonah Hill, known for roles in “Wolf of Wall Street,” “Moneyball” and “Superbad,” will portray Daly in an upcoming biopic.
