A gambler who placed an $85,000 wager on Tiger Woods winning the Masters golf tournament on Sunday turned that bet into a massive payout of nearly $1.2 million. The bet was placed on Tuesday ahead of the event in Augusta, Georgia, with betting business William Hill, according to a news release from the company.

"It’s a painful day for William Hill — our biggest golf loss ever — but a great day for golf." Woods' win on Sunday was his fifth-ever Masters victory, and his first since 2005.
