If Tiger Woods wins his fifth green coat Sunday, at least one Las Vegas bettor will feel like a million dollars. Literally.
A William Hill gambler on Tuesday put an $85,000 wager to win $1.19 million on Woods to capture the Masters at 14-1 odds. The bet represents the most significant liability for an individual golf wager in William Hill’s U.S. history.
“It’s going to make a great tournament even more intriguing, if that is even possible,” William Hill sportsbook director Nick Bogdanovich explained.
Woods hasn’t won the Masters since 2005, along with his triumph at the Tour Championship in September was his first victory in over five decades.
“He is playing nicely. Obviously includes a shot,” Bogdanovich said. “But the top tier of players is so deep now, you really have to play four outstanding rounds to get it done.”
Woods is the Masters money leader at the Westgate, where a bettor placed a $10,000 wager to win $120,000 for him to triumph at Augusta National Golf Club.
