Last week before the start of the Masters we told you about a gambler who put $85,000 down on Tiger Woods to win the Masters.
Well, Tiger Woods won the Masters on Sunday and now that person who made the bet is now $1.19 million richer.
And the sportsbook isn’t too thrilled with it. ESPN has the details:
On Tuesday, a bettor at a William Hill U.S. sportsbook in Nevada placed an $85,000 bet on Woods to win the Masters at 14-1 odds. The ticket will pay out $1.19 million, the largest single golf ticket in the company’s history in the U.S.
“It’s great to see Tiger back,” Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading for William Hill U.S. said in a release. “It’s a painful day for William Hill — our biggest loss ever — but a great day for golf.”
Yup, it was a pretty awesome day for golf. And for whoever made that bet.
