(Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images)Tiger Woods' historic 15th major championship will reverberate around the sports world for years to come. The effect of Tiger's win on sportsbooks, though, will have more of an immediate effect—as the reported payouts on Tiger Woods bets were massive.
The biggest individual payout will be at the William Hill sportsbook at the SLS Casino in Las Vegas, which will pay out $1.2 million to a bettor who made a $85,000 wager on Tuesday. It was the largest payout on a futures bet in William Hill U.S. history, William Hill confirmed. The sportsbook declined to identify the lucky bettor when contacted on Sunday, but we're told the sportsbook is still waiting for the customer to cash their ticket as of 5 p..

Kevin C. CoxTiger Woods did it. He climbed back to the top of the mountain, completing what is arguably the greatest comeback story in the history of sports on Sunday at Augusta National. With a final-round 70, Woods won the 15th major championship of his career, as well as his fifth green jacket. He's now one green jacket shy of Jack Nicklaus' record total of six, and three majors shy of Nicklaus' all-time major record of 18. To say the sports world thought this was impossible not that long ago is the understatement of the century.

But everyone couldn't be happier to be wrong. Woods' victory has yielded congratulations from sports figures, political figures, pop culture figures and everyone else you can think of on social media, all of them offering their tribute to the 43-year-old. During a time when folks can't seem to agree on anything, literally everyone and the..

From his new girlfriend to his longtime agent, Woods has a tight support staff.

The official prize money for the 2019 Masters has increased to a record $11.5 million. Here's the payout for each golfer at Augusta National

Despite the fact Nike got out of the hard goods business, and the fact they recently shut down their 600K-plus follow Nike Golf Twitter account, Sunday at Augusta National couldn't have been any better for the brand. The entire final group consisted of three Nike players, including one you may have heard of, Tiger Woods, who won his 15th career major and fifth green jacket in epic fashion. Afterwards, as he made his way to Butler Cabin, his son Charlie walked alongside him in a T-shirt that featured a gigantic Nike logo. You could practically hear the folks at Nike cha-chinging on the cash register over and over again.

So it should come as no surprise that the swoosh had a commemorative ad ready to roll after the final putt dropped, capitalizing on this historic moment. The video, which Nike tweeted out with the caption “Never stop chasing your crazy dream #justdoit,” will hit you in every feel ..

If what's happening on Sunday at Augusta National feels surreal, that's because it is. Tiger Woods is on the verge of a fifth green jacket, and it may be all thanks to the shot of is life at the par-3 16th hole, a site that's featured a few highlights from Woods in his career.
After making a birdie at the par-5 15th to grab the solo lead at 13 under, Woods stepped to the tee with an 8 iron, just like he did in 2005, also with a one-shot lead at 13-under par. Then, you may recall, he pulled it badly and wound up chipping the next one in. This time he hit a beauty, maybe the shot of his career given the circumstances, and it nearly went in. Have a watch:

Un-freaking-real. The coolest part, aside from the fact that Tiger almost sent the place into a full-blown frenzy, was that legendary Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was standing directly behind the tee box in the gallery. Here's a few photos and videos captured..
