PGA fans and bettors were once again treated to an amazing finish this past weekend.
When Jim Herman won the Wyndham Championship at odds of 1,027/1 he enabled sportsbooks to clean up on outright wagering, crushing PGA bettors. How does that add up?
Since Herman was so far down the betting board at nearly every shop around the country, the books found themselves heavily rooting for the 42-year-old veteran golfer on Sunday afternoon, a player they had limited if any pre-tournament liability.
Herman (-21), earned his third career win on the PGA Tour, and secured a berth in the 2020 FedEx Cup playoffs.
