7 golf bettors who won so much money betting on Phil Mickelson winning the PGA championship

It was a pretty unbelievable Sunday of golf, as fans watched 50-year-old Phil Mickelson, in the words of CBS's Jim Nantz, "defeat Father Time," defying the odds and winning at Kiawah Island.

Speaking of those odds! Lefty was a longshot heading into Thursday, with some reports of odds as big as 300/1 and many at 250/1. I certainly wouldn't have put money down on him even with those odds -- he had missed a bunch of cuts and hadn't finished inside the top 20 (in a PGA Tour event) in a loooong time.

So here's a look at some bettors who cashed in big time after Mickelson's win:

Just $80 turned into $24,000

I mean, WOW.

How about a $37,500 victory?

This was at 150/1 but that's still amazing:

$300 became $84,300

My. Goodness.

Thanks, Phil, for the $300,000

BOOM.

Another big winner

I would not have the guts to bet this much on Lefty.

This parlay is WILD

Really glad this bettor didn't cash out

WHEW.

Sportsbooks in general lost money

From ESPN:

We lost low six figures overall [in Nevada]," William Hill assistant director of trading Adam Pullen told ESPN. "We lost over a million dollars when Tiger won the Masters a few years ago. I think this is probably the second-biggest [golf] loss after Tiger that we've had."

DraftKings, BetMGM and PointsBet also suffered overall net losses on the PGA Championship, the books said. BetMGM sportsbook director Jason Scott characterized the company's nationwide net loss on the tournament as a "little less" than seven figures.
