Golf fans never knew if this day would come again, but after 11 years, here we are: Tiger Woods is a major champion again.
Woods captured the 2019 Masters with a final-round 70, his 15th career major championship.
Tiger went off with 14-1 betting odds this week. One punter bet $85,000 on Woods at those odds, profiting $1.19M off the wager, according to The Action Network's Darren Rovell.
Believe it or not, Woods' 14-1 odds entering this week are his longest ever in a major championship victory, according to the archives kept by SportsOddsHistory.com.
Throughout his heyday in the early-to-mid-2000s, Tiger was routinely listed around 2-1 to win a major championship, a feat rarely achieved in golf given the sheer number of players in each field.
Seven of Tiger's 15 major wins can at odds of 2-1 or shorter.
