When Harris English won the Travelers Championship on Sunday, he collected $1,368,000 for the victory. But he won one bettor more than that. As English sunk the final putt to seal the Travelers win, the final leg of a London-based bettor’s six-leg parlay hit for a seven-figure pay out.
This bettor placed £11.50 on the parlay and turned that into £1,039,554, which converts to roughly $1.38 million at the time of the win.
The parlay, which also involved bets on Euro 2020 matches, was placed June 22 and paid out at 90,396-1 odds.
The parlay included Croatia to defeat Scotland at +140, England to defeat Czech Republic at -182, Steve Stricker to win the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship at +500, Nelly Korda to win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at +1,400, Viktor Hovland to win the BMW International Open at +650, and Harris English to win the Travelers Championship at +3,500.
Harris’ final putt came after a lengthy eight-hole playoff, which ended up being the longest playoff in a PGA Tour event in nine years. It’s also tied for the longest playoff since 1949. And it was well worth it for both Harris and this bettor.
