A punter with the TAB punter could pocket $856,800 if Brooks Koepka is able to win the 2019 Masters at Augusta National, which tees off on Thursday 10:30pm AEST after three racing legs of his multi have all won.
On October 22 the TAB customer in question placed three $125 multi bets totalling $375 at the odds of $2,284.80 on:
- Winx (2018 Cox Plate at $1.20)
- Cross Counter (2018 Melbourne Cup at $17)
- Aristia (2018 VRC Oaks at $8)
- Brooks Koepka (2019 Masters winner at $14)
“It has been a long five months for this TAB punter to wait for the first golf major of 2019, but they will be hoping that Brooks Koepka is wearing the green jacket on Monday morning Australian time,” TAB’s Trent Langskaill said.
“This customer has the option of ‘cashing out’ and collecting just over $20,000 in total before the Masters begins, or they can wait and track the progress of Koepka during the tournament and ‘cash out’ at any time, which could be based on his performance.”
“Koepka has struggled in the first three months of 2019 – which explains why he has eased from $14 to $26 to win the Masters – but he did win the last two majors of 2018; the US Open (also won in 2017) and the US PGA Championship.”
World No.1 Rory McIlroy ($8.50) could be the spoiler for the TAB punter hoping for a Koepka triumph as he has attracted 10% of all money wagered on the time-honoured Masters.
The green jacket is the only one missing from McIlroy’s wardrobe, having previously won the US Open, British Open and the US PGA Championship.
McIlroy and Jordan Spieth ($17) are the two most popular in terms of money held on the Masters at TAB, with Dustin Johnson ($13), Justin Rose ($14) and Tigers Woods ($17) next best. Francesco Molinari ($26) has attracted some interest as has Aussie Marc Leishman ($34).
McIlroy’s best result at Augusta National was fourth behind two-time winner Bubba Watson ($34), way back in 2014.
