Going into Sunday’s final round of the PGA Championship, Collin Morikawa was just one of many golfers trailing in a crowded field full of recognizable names.
But Morikawa had a fantastic final round to win his first major, and one bettor at BetMGM cashed in big.
According to Scott Ghertner, executive director of public relations with entertainment and sports at MGM, the most notable bet made on the PGA Championship was before the final round on Morikawa. A $4,000 wager came in at 11-to-1 odds, paying out $44,000 when Morikawa shot a blistering 6-under-par 64 on the final round to win.
