A golf fan in the UK hit the jackpot this past weekend, transforming a mere £10 ($13) into an amazing £14,898 ($19,784) payout by guessing the champions of four different professional golf tournaments.
Bettor Turns £5 Into £15k After Nailing Four Golf Champions Across Global Tours
A gutsy bet was placed with William Hill, a £5.08 ($6.74) each-way accumulator. The gambler backed four golfers to win on different tours: Scottie Scheffler (PGA Tour), Bryson DeChambeau (LIV Golf), Stewart Cink (Champions Tour), and Haeran Ryu (LPGA Tour). All four picks won, resulting in a massive payout at incredible odds of 2,899/1.
Every player won their tournaments. Scheffler led by winning big at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The World No. 1 tied a PGA Tour record with his low score, ending eight shots ahead of others. DeChambeau showed his skill in Korea, beating the competition to get his first LIV Golf title this season.
Old pro Stewart Cink turned back time with a tough showing at the Insperity Invitational winning after a close playoff. Last but not least, Haeran Ryu stayed calm to win the Black Desert Championship, getting her third LPGA Tour title and making the bettor’s big payout happen.
William Hill Hails ‘Remarkable’ Multi-Tour Golf Bet
A William Hill spokesperson said that winning even one outright golf tournament is tough, but predicting four winners across different global tours is remarkable, reported The Sun. The representative pointed out that the picked combination showed deep understanding and perfect timing.
While none of the players were big underdogs — odds ranged from 11/4 for Scheffler to 12/1 for Ryu — the combined multiplier pushed the bet into almost unbelievable territory. The final payout was £14,898.24 ($19,784) from a £10.16 ($13) total stake, thanks to the each-way structure of the wager.
The tale acts as a wake-up call about the unpredictable excitement of wagering on sports in golf, where small differences often determine tournament results. These wins do not happen often, but they keep fans hooked.
Betting companies and support organizations took this chance to remind people to always bet responsibly. They urge gamblers to set their own limits and to get help from places like GamCare or GambleAware if they think their betting habits are getting out of hand.
