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!‘”
