A few years ago Dustin Johnson was clear favourite for the masters.
He walked on to 1st tee and withdrew. |

Anyone remember Jon Rahm leading the Memorial by 6 shots after 54 holes, then testing positive overnight and having to withdraw. he was obviously very short in the betting too

If they start it's different from withdrawing beforehand.
Imagine you bet Rory, Bryson and Scottie to win and then Scottie is withdrawn, you've got 9/1 each the two for Bryson and Rory, who will be about 5/1 each (I'm talking about on the Exchange). There's no rule 4 and you get your money back on Scottie. |
