We’ve seen some incredible golf bets hit in recent years, prompting us to dub multis as the best bets ever. But forget about all of those, because this is actually it. THIS is the greatest golf bet in history.
Why do we say that? Because one mystery person (who we will wildly assume is an Australian due to the bet being placed with an Australian betting company) amassed a small fortune betting on the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship for a single dollar.
Instead of merely betting on the winner, this brilliant/lucky punter parlayed 20 different head-to-head match-ups for one round of the tournament. And wouldn’t you believe it, but he got every single one right.
As a result, his $1 bet turned into a $679,894.66 windfall, according to SportsBet. Yep, that’s ONE dollar turning into nearly 700 GRAND. My. Word.

We’ve seen bigger paydays, most notably James Adducci’s $US1.2 million haul on Tiger Woods winning the 2019 Masters. But Adducci risked $US85,000 on that one. And he also recently lit another $45,000 on fire betting on Phil Mickelson to win the US Open.
So kudos to this mystery person who is suddenly rich, but we also advise that he quits while he’s ahead. He could make 679,000 more bets like that and never come close to winning again.
