About LinkBacksTiger Woods is the most dominant golfer in the world. Before Sunday, he was 14-for-14 in winning majors after leading going into the final round.
Paddy Power knew this stat, so they decided to payout 1.5million euros to all backers of Tiger after only 36 holes at the PGA Championship.
Unfortunately for Paddy Power, Tiger Woods did not go 15-for-15. South Korea's Y.E. Yang pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history and beat Woods by three strokes.
From The Daily Record:
The betting firm said in a statement: "It takes a special kind of dimwit to turn what should have been our best ever golf result into our worst.
"Paddy Power punters are obviously the big winners here and have made like bandits getting paid out on Tiger as a winner."

Decent PR stunt to, so it works both ways. They will make on this in the long run, especially now that golf punters think they are sh*t on the golf market.
