Bettor Wins $4 Million on Tom Kim's Scottish Open Victory; Scheffler Misses Cut
Tom Kim secured his first title since 2023 at the Genesis Scottish Open, leading to a substantial payout for one DraftKings bettor, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler missed the cut.
Tom Kim claimed victory at the Genesis Scottish Open, carding a final-round 6-under 64 to finish at 17-under par, two strokes ahead of Min Woo Lee. This win marks Kim's first title since 2023 and comes just ahead of The Open Championship, the final major of the year. Kim, who entered the week ranked 66th in the Official World Golf Rankings, earned $1.575 million for his performance.
The outcome proved particularly lucrative for one bettor, who placed a $47,700 wager on Kim to win at 84-1 odds. Kim's triumph resulted in a payout exceeding $4 million for the DraftKings Sports bettor. Despite a strong third-place finish at the U.S. Open in June, Kim had previously missed the cut in his two prior British Open appearances. His current odds for The Open Championship are +6400 (DraftKings).
Conversely, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who entered the Genesis Scottish Open as the favorite, missed the cut on Friday. This marked the first time since 2022 that Scheffler failed to make the cut at a PGA Tour event, ending a remarkable streak of 78 consecutive made cuts. Scheffler is currently priced at +750 (BetRivers) for The Open Championship.
