Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy bets $180,000 on Scottie Scheffler to win Travelers
Barstool Sports founder and owner Dave Portnoy has placed a massive, $180,000 bet on Scottie Scheffler to win the Travelers Championship this weekend amid his revelation that he was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Just three days days after announcing that he had surgery to remove melanoma on his neck in a shock to many, Portnoy, 47, shared a screen shot of his latest bet slip on social media on Saturday - a day before the final day at TPC at River Highlands.
'I've made a big bet. I expect Scheffler to have 3 shot lead after today. My man never lets me down. #dkpartner,' he captioned his latest post on X.
If Portnoy wins, he'll receive a total payout of $504,000 - a 180 percent change.
Earlier this month, 'El Presidente' of Barstool won a $1.6million return on the Boston Celtics winning the NBA Championship after initially putting down $100,000.

Scheffler, meanwhile, joined the leaders at -13 under after rolling in his birdie on the par-3 fifth hole in Cromwell, Connecticut.
He trails Tom Kim, who finished first on his birthday, Friday.
Scheffler, who shares the same birthday as the South Korean, gave away his cake to fans after some of them waited for an hour in the dark to interact with the two-time major winner.
Scheffler will hope to make amends for his disastrous US Open display, earlier this month, at the Travelers.
He arrived at the PGA Tour stop with his wife, Meredith, and their newborn son, Bennett, to kick off what he'll hope to be a time for redemption, earlier this week.

Last month, Scheffler was arrested at the PGA Championship for 'disobeying' a Louisville Police officer following the death of a tournament organizer nearby.
Charges were later dropped.
Scheffler characterized the incident as a 'big misunderstanding.'
