Tiger Woods on fan’s $85,000 Masters bet: ‘[Expletive] great bet’

Tiger Woods superfan James Adduci made national headlines in April when he won $1,275,000 on an $85,000 bet that Tiger Woods would win the 2019 Masters. Woods delivered, capturing his 15th career major championship with a thrilling win at Augusta National Golf Club, earning Adduci a major payday.

During a clinic at his Tiger Jam event, Woods was asked what he thought of the $85,000 bet. Woods’ response was perfect.

“[Expletive] great bet….. dumb*** for the Grand Slam part though.”

It was reported earlier his month that Aducci returned to the same casino he placed his original bet to wager $100,000 that Woods would win all four major championships in 2019. A few weeks later, Woods missed the cut at the PGA Championship, which was won by Brooks Koepka.
