Will Zalatoris gave bettors a huge break by withdrawing from the Masters before his tee time

Bettors can breathe a huge sigh of relief that Will Zalatoris withdrew from the Masters before his tee time.

Bettors caught a huge break as golfer Will Zalatoris withdrew from the 87th annual Masters Tournament on Thursday.

With Zalatoris stepping away due to a back ailment ahead of his scheduled tee time, any bets placed on the golfer will be returned to the bettors as he never actually started the tournament.

Zalatoris had +5000 odds to win the Masters heading into Thursday’s start. Action Network Darren Rovell reported that 2.3-percent of the bets and 2-percent of the money were placed on Zalatoris to win the tournament with BetMGM.

The withdrawal is a shakeup in the Masters competition pool, but bettors caught a huge break as Zalatoris said he wasn’t golfing this tournament before the bets on him were locked.

With the tournament underway, there are still a bunch of golfers vying for the title that could be wise bets.

While it may not be Zalatoris sporting the green jacket this year, bettors can breathe a sigh of relief that their bets won’t be going to waste.
