How Tommy Fleetwood Almost Netted A Huge Bettor Parlay Payoff
Brit Tommy Fleetwood is one of golf’s hottest players. In Fleetwood’s last five events, he’s gone 4, T37, T6, 1 and T3. And he nearly gave one parlay bet a huge windfall.
Fleetwood’s 4th place finish at the Honda Classic caused an excruciatingly close stupendous payoff for one bettor who parlayed him and Commercial Bank Qatar champion Eddie Pepperell.
Predicting a pre-tournament winner in golf isn’t easy. While it’s true sports bettors can find fantastic value, it’s incredibly frustrating when one of your picks doesn’t even make the cut. The Pro Player was +20000 at the start of the week before giving eventual champion Dustin Johnson everything he could handle in Fleetwood’s North American coming-out party.
How close? This close.

A 5 pound wager to win 11,005 pounds! That’s what a 30/1 and 70/1 combo pays out–or a 2,201 times return on investment.
I can’t imagine the emotions swirling thru the bettor as Tommy briefly held the lead on the Honda’s final back-nine. But the entertainment value had to be something to behold.
