If Tiger Woods wins his fifth green coat Sunday, at least one Las Vegas bettor will feel like a million bucks. Literally.
A William Hill gambler Tuesday placed an $85,000 wager to win $1.19 million on Woods to catch the Masters at 14-1 chances. The wager represents the largest liability for someone golf bet in William Hill’s U.S. history.
“It is going to make a terrific tournament even more interesting, if that’s even possible,” William Hill sportsbook manager Nick Bogdanovich said.

“He is playing nicely. Obviously has a shooter,” Bogdanovich said. “However, the best tier of players is so profound now, you really have to play with four excellent rounds to get it done.”
Woods is the Experts money leader at the Westgate, where a bettor placed a $10,000 bet to win $120,000 for him to win at Augusta National Golf Club.
