NFL Hall of Famer Aces $225K MasterCraft X24

Posted by Amy Fanter

South Lake Tahoe, Nev.- Congratulations to former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown, who won a MasterCraft X24, valued at $225,000, and paid for by Hole In One International, during the 35th Annual American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Lake Tahoe. 

Brown, who has been playing in this extremely popular televised celebrity golf tournament for over 20 years, aced the 143-yard Hole 12 with a 9-iron. The prize-winning shot, which took place during the second round, was captured by The Golf Channel.  Brown’s shot not only electrified the crowd, but it also prompted a celebration at the tee box with his playing partners, Marcus Allen and Jerome Bettis. This was Brown’s fifth hole-in-one and his second one in 2024 (Brown hit a hole-in-one at Augusta National earlier in the year). 

Brown was not particularly happy with his shot then he realized the ball was headed towards the hole. “I thought it was going to be short. All of a sudden, you saw the people up there go nuts, and so it was sort of a delayed reaction for us because we couldn’t see the ball go in the hole,” explained Brown. “But it’s quite the moment. It’s one of those things you dream about,” he noted.

It was only later that Brown realized he had also won the boat. “I didn’t even know about the boat. I saw the boat there, and Marcus Allen said, ‘Man, you just won a boat!‘”  

The American Century Championship (ACC) is a made-for-TV event owned and broadcast by NBC Sports. The premier celebrity golf tournament, which also raises funds for local and national charities, distributes a purse of $600,000. The tournament is a 54-hole modified Stableford format that features some of sport’s and entertainment’s greatest celebrities.

During this year’s 36th ACC tournament celebrities will again get a chance to win $1 MM on Hole 17 courtesy of Korbel, while MasterCraft will be giving players the chance to win a $300K boat on Hole 12. New for this year, GoRVing is sponsoring a hole-in-one challenge offering a luxurious Forest River Dynamax Isata 3 Class C motorhome (valued at $200,000) to any celebrity who achieves a hole-in-one on the fifth hole. 

Would you like to make your tournament attendees feel like celebrities? For as little as $180, you too can give golfers the chance to win big!  To learn more about sponsoring a giant prize hole in one contest and to get a free quote, give us a call today at 800-827-2249.

Skagit Open Has $10,000 Hole In One Winner

Posted by Amy Fanter
 Burlington, Wash. — Who says 13 is unlucky? Tom Gardner, who recently won $10,000 at Skagit Golf & Country Club (SG&CC) probably wouldn’t. The reason? Gardner collected the big bucks, paid for by Hole In One International, after he aced the 170-yard, 13th hole with a 3-wood.   According to witnesses, the ball flew over a pond, landed on the front of the green, and rolled right into the cup. While this was Gardner’s second hole in one, it was the first time he had ever won a hole in one prize.   The Skagit Open has been in existence since 1979.  The $10K hole in one prize was sponsored by the SG&CC Men’s Club.

Hole In One International Pays $10K Winner

Posted by Amy Fanter

Manchester, Tenn. — Congratulations to Samuel Prater who recently won $10,000 in a hole in one contest sponsored by First Bank, and paid for by Hole In One International.

Damp weather didn’t dampen the turn out or anyone’s spirits during this year’s Manchester Chamber Golf Classic where Samuel Prater won $10,000 after he aced the 165-yard, Hole 17 at the Willowbrook Course with a 9-iron.

Sam Prater Hole In One Winner

While Prater was surely delighted with his amazing hole in one prize – which he won despite the fact that it was raining – he was probably also wishing it had taken place on Hole 9… because that’s the hole where Sherrill Pest Control was sponsoring a Million-Dollar Shootout.

Did you know for as little as $190, you can turn your current event into a million-dollar attention-grabber that will not only help you stand out on social media but will make those pre-tournament press releases pop!

Here’s just a few ways you can incorporate a million-dollar shootout:

  • SELL RAFFLE TICKETS before and during your event and draw a lucky golfer’s name for the chance to swing for a million.
  • RUN A CLOSEST TO THE PIN CONTEST and give the winner a chance to swing for a million on the 18th.
  • ANYTHING YOU CAN DREAM OF such as choosing a contestant from an elite sponsor or a putting contest. Then set up a 165+ yard teeing area and get ready for some serious excitement.

To learn more about incorporating a Million-Dollar Shootout into your event give us a call today at 800-827-2249.
