Lucky punter wins big on Tiger Woods

17 April, 2019

A 39-year-old Wisconsin day trader who had a
premonition so strong that Tiger Woods
was going to win the Masters that he made his first sports bet —
a whopping $AUD118,000 in cash at 14-1 odds.

The result was a $1.78 million payout, the largest golf payout in William Hill sportsbook history.

Adducci, who has $35,000 in debt on a mortgage, student loans and car loans, flew to Las Vegas and threw down the bet on Woods last Tuesday. His hunch paid off last Monday, when William Hill presented him with a check for $1.78 million — his initial bet plus a $1.67 million payday. Tiger Woods rallied to win the Masters for the fifth time Sunday, a comeback that goes well beyond the two-shot deficit he erased before a delirious audience that watched memories turn into reality at Augusta National.

Woods had gone nearly 11 years since he won his last major, 14 years since that green jacket was slipped over his Sunday red shirt.

He made it worth the wait, closing with a 2-under 70 for a one-shot victory and setting off a scene of raw emotion.
