Punter wins over €148k from incredible €17 golf bet

A lucky punter has scooped over €148k from an incredible €17 golf bet.

The unnamed backer placed an each-way accumulator on four selections at the start of the year with a total stake of £15.16 (€17.69).

Xander Schauffele got the bet off to a winning start when landing the Sentry Tournament of Champions at odds of 22/1 before Tiger Woods won the US Masters at odds of 11/1.

The punter was then left waiting on Brooks Koepka topping the PGA Tour Money List and John Rahm winning the Race to Dubai. Both obliged at odds of 5/1 and 9/1 respectively.

Sky Bet shared the news of the insane bet on Twitter, posting: "This punter has won a sensational £126k from £15! They've been waiting on this bet since January."
