[Golf Topic] $4,000 Bet on Morikawa's Win "11x Jackpot~"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."11 times jackpot."

Yahoo Sports reported on the 11th (Korean time) that "someone who bet $4,000 (4.74 million KRW) on Morikawa's PGA Championship victory received $44,000 (52 million KRW)." This was at the Las Vegas gambling company MGM. Collin Morikawa (photo) surged with a 6-under par on the final day of the PGA Tour 2020 season's first major, the PGA Championship (total prize money $11 million), held on the 10th, achieving a surprise victory with a 13-under par 267 score.

The odds were 11/1, and interestingly, they had risen to as high as 33/1 just before the tournament, indicating that the chances of winning were slim. MGM stated, "This is the highest payout for this tournament," adding that "Morikawa's US Open odds are currently 20/1." James Adduci (USA) is an all-time lucky person. In April last year, he placed a bet of $85,000 (106.2 million KRW) through the sports betting company William Hill on Tiger Woods (USA) winning the Masters, with odds of 14/1, resulting in a payout of $1.19 million (1.41 billion KRW).
