It's too early to tell if Tiger Woods is truly back, but one bettor certainly thinks he is primed to win another green jacket. A Nevada resident placed an $85,000 bet on Woods to win the 2019 Masters at 14-1 odds. The outrageously large bet would yield a payout of $1.19 million, the largest potential single-ticket payout in the history of William Hill casino history (in the United States).
The bet shattered the old records in the $10,000 to $25,000 range, to the point that William Hill had to confirm it could even accept the wager. The Masters is always a hotbed for betting, but this wager was so gigantic that it single-handedly pushed Woods up to 10-1 at William Hill while his odds stayed at 14-1 on other books, according to Golf Digest.
"I thought it was probably an $85 or $8,500 bet," said Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill's director of trading. "But they were for real."
Woods is among the favorites this year, along with Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. In 2018, Woods won the Tour Championship for his 80th PGA Tour win, finding himself just two back of the career majors record. This year's Masters would be a huge win for a myriad of different reasons for Woods.
