The bets are in, and the top golfers in the world are off to determine the King of the Course this week at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush. DraftKings Sportsbook provided bettors with a chance to enter the King of the Course promo by placing a token on their pick to make the most birdies in Round 3 and Round 4 of this week’s final major of the year. You can check out all the details and tiebreaker rules in Nick Friar’s post from earlier this week.
Bettors who hold their bet through the resolution of the tournament will divide $1 million in bonus bets if their selection is named King of the Course. All bets had to be placed by 3:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 19.
Here are the unofficial splits for how bettors used their tokens for this contest. The number of bets placed on each player is the number of bettors that will split the bonus bets, as long as they do not cash out early. If bettors cash out their bet, it is no longer eligible to win the bonus bets from King of the Course.
Be sure to check out our live results blog, which is tracking who is leading in the race to earn the King of the Course title and claim the bonus bets for his backers.
