Coming into Masters weekend, one bettor was convinced Tiger Woods wouldn’t take home a sixth Masters championship.
So convinced, he or she was willing to put nearly a quarter-million dollars on the line.
A bettor at Circa Sportsbook put down $222,000 on Woods to not win the Masters at -11,100, for a payout of just $2,000.
After one day of action, the bettor appears to be in a good spot.
Woods played a rocky first round at the Masters Thursday, finishing with a 2-over-par 74 while his playing partners, Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele, posted a 7-under-par 65 and a 4-under-par 68, respectively.
At the end of play Thursday, Woods was up to +65,000 to win the tournament.
Even before his rough round on Thursday, Woods would have needed a miracle to win his sixth Green Jacket.
FanDuel pegged Woods to win the tournament at +7,000 and just -176 to make the cut, and that’s with oddsmakers charging a premium for his odds.
Heading into Friday’s action, Jon Rahm was the betting favorite at FanDuel at (+350), followed by Scottie Scheffler (+490) and Brooks Koepka (+750).
