John Daly is not having a field day! Hooters, the popular chain of restaurants and cafes, is reportedly heading towards bankruptcy. The company is working with creditors to develop a plan to restructure its business and is collaborating with the law firm Ropes & Gray to prepare for a filing. This move comes as no surprise, given the significant decrease in customer traffic to its stores, which has led to the closure of some of its locations.Hooters is also struggling with a large debt burden, having borrowed $300 million in asset-backed bonds in 2021. The company is working with turnaround consultants from boutique firm Accordion Partners to address its ongoing financial challenges.Notably, one of Hooters’ biggest fans, golf legend John Daly, might be particularly affected by this news. Daly has been affiliated with Hooters unofficially for decades and even has a secret room inside Jon Gruden’s office at Hooters HQ. He’s such a big fan that he even inked an official sponsorship with them in 2022. As the news of Hooters’ bankruptcy spread, people online are already mourning the loss.Well, Daly isn’t the only one frazzled by the news, Paige Spiranac, the 31-year-old American golf instructor and social media influencer, recently reacted to reports that Hooters is allegedly preparing for bankruptcy. She took to X and said, “Not on my watch.” Her comment sparked a lot of reactions from fans, with some suggesting that she should promote Hooters to help save the brand.Not on my watch https://t.co/W9jGEigPV3— Paige Spiranac (@PaigeSpiranac) February 21, 2025Some fans even came up with creative ideas on how Spiranac could help turn Hooters around, and be their savior.Fans put all hopes on Paige SpiranacGolf fans are brutally honest when it comes to their opinions and we all know how they do not hold back. The same was the case with the bankruptcy and Spiranac’s comment as well. “Paige to the rescue,” said one fan while the other said, “Sounds like an obvious partnership,” and well, it clearly does.As a former pro golfer and social media sensation with a history of partnering with Hooters, Spiranac can for sure revitalize the brand. With a 4 million fanbase, her involvement could bring flip around the customer interest in Hooters, per Marca. Spiranac is known for her social media presence and marketing campaigns. She very well has the means, and a proven track record that almost guarantees that her touch could exactly be what Hooters need to navigate this financial crisis.As fan one called out for an award for Paige, “Deserves an award, tbh”, another called out John Daly’s camp for not being able to revitalize the brand, “Daly camp is in shambles today.” Well, we can understand why fans are saying this: the bankruptcy might affect John Daly and his son John Daly II. How? Well, they just signed a multi-year partnership with the brand.The deal made them spokespeople for Hooters, with Daly set to sport Hooters-branded apparel and use a Hooters orange golf bag on the PGA Tour Champions circuit. While his son, a University of Arkansas standout golfer, was supposed to star in social media campaigns and make special appearances at various Hooters locations. The partnership was a natural fit, given Daly’s larger-than-life personality and his son’s rising star in the golf world. Now, with Hooters facing bankruptcy, it’s unclear what the future holds for this partnership.So fans had to call out Paige so that she can save the day: “Save it, Paige!.” And yes, it is still a very far-fetched idea. Whether Paige Spiranac can save Hooters or not, fans are happy that she took a stand.The post ‘Deserves an Award’: Paige Spiranac Comes to Rescue John Daly’s Sinking Partnership, Leaving Fans in Awe appeared first on EssentiallySports.
