Sports betting can be challenging, but sports bettors had to be happy with the way The Tour Championship played out because the day ended as a win-win situation for two of golf's greatest players and here's why:

Going into the FedEx Cup final Tiger Woods (1/1) was the favorite to win.  Woods ended the day on Sunday 4 strokes behind Phil Mickelson and in second place at The Tour Championship, but as the season's points leader Woods therefore wins the FedEx Cup and the $10 million in cash. As for Mickelson, his 5-under 65 today earned him The Tour Championship win.

"So let's get this right. Tiger shoots 69 and I shoot 65. He gets a cheque for $10m and I get one for … I'm joking, of course," Mickelson said.

And what did Woods have to say for himself?

"The whole idea of the FedEx Cup was to play consistently through the year and position yourself for the play-offs and I managed to do that. I just didn't get it done today," he said.

Sean O'Hair took 3rd place, while Padraig Harrington and Kenny Perry tied for 4th place.
