Behold the greatest—and craziest—parlay bet in golf history (If it’s real)

In 2017, a British man named Jordan Baker was 75 percent of the way toward winning a 1-million-to-1 parlay bet on golf's four major championships. Baker correctly predicted Sergio Garcia to win the Masters, Brooks Koepka to win the U.S. Open and Justin Thomas to win the PGA Championship that year, but his one whiff, Rickie Fowler at the British Open, cost him a £2 million payoff.
