On 23rd February, Brian Campbell shattered his winless streak on the PGA Tour that had been lingering since he turned pro in 2017. The event that marked this historic triumph was the 2025 Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, where Campbell snagged the $1.26M of the $7 million purse.He defeated 20-year-old South African Aldrich Potgieter in a playoff to do it.Campbell and Potgieter were neck and neck until the second extra hole, the par-5 18th, where Campbell carded a birdie after a lucky tree bounce."I hit a terrible tee shot, but the tree helped me stay in the game. I'm just glad I could keep the pressure on and pull through," the 31-year-old said after entering the winner's circle.But Campbell wasn't the only winner that day. It turned into a lucky day for a PGA Tour fan as well. According to an X post by @Golfbet, a fan with a $40 bet on the Californian generated a shocking $10,840 within hours.That is thanks to the incredible odds FanDuel Sportsbook provided, with Campbell going off at 270-to-1 (+27000).The caption read, "Bettor turns $40 into almost $11K on Brian Campbell's win." FanDuel Sportsbook offers an array of betting options for golf enthusiasts, including Golf Futures, PGA Tour Odds, and more.Indeed, Campbell and his girlfriend nearly broke into tears after the veteran won his first PGA tour win in his 28th start.However, the world of sports betting is not always a fairy tale. Take LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson, for instance.In 2011, Phil Mickelson reportedly made 3,154 bets, including 43 bets on Major League Baseball games that resulted in a staggering $143,500 in losses.And that's not all.
