OP never once said that Ivey played good, He could have told them all he was as bad as original, They gave him a 25 handicap and he was a 15, I could see that being very possible. Obviously this would all lie on how much they play per hole, if it was 50K I could easily see 450K as sustainable, but if it was 20K a hole I would be skeptical of 450K let alone 900K over 18

Yeah, they very well could have been giving him a stroke per hole if he was around 90 last time they played (possibly figuring that if he hasn't been playing much, not only has he not improved, he's probably rusty especially on the feel based shortgame). Say he's shooting low 80s now (very possible after 3 months of daily practice with a coach), he'd win every hole and they'd have every right to be upset with that kind of money on the line. If this is true that is a mistake that these players and others who hear about it won't make again, with Ivey or with anyone else, they'll learn to be more careful. Put in some sort of sandbagging rule or use verified handicaps based on recorded rounds with other players.

Sounds more like something Johnny Chan would pull than Ivey.

Oh I forgot to mention that same source mentioned Daniel N as having lost $6 m on golf bets in last few months, a large part of which to an elderly chap with a crutch
