A bettor who risked US$85,000 on Tiger Woods winning the Masters is now more than a million dollars richer.
Sportsbook operator William Hill US says the bettor's win is the largest golf payout in the company's history.
William Hill US director of trading Nick Bogdanovich says Sunday was a great day for golf but a "painful" one for the sportsbook operator. Woods rallied to win the Masters for the fifth time before a delirious audience at Augusta National. It had been 14 years since he last won the Masters and 11 years since his last major victory.
