Elevating Golf Tournaments with Hole-in-One Coverage

What is Hole-in-One Insurance?

Hole-in-One, or Prize Indemnity insurance, is a specialized policy to safeguard golf tournament organizers who offer big prizes for hole-in-one shots. This insurance covers the cost of the prize, allowing sponsors to host more exciting and engaging events without the financial risk associated with a participant making the perfect shot.

Coverage Details

This comprehensive insurance policy covers 100% of the prize value. It enables tournament organizers to offer substantial prizes—like cars, vacations, or cash— enhancing the appeal and excitement of golf events.

Policy Restrictions

While Hole-in-One insurance adds excitement to golf tournaments, each policy is different, but some conditions may include:

  • ·Eligibility: Participants must be amateur golfers, 18 years or older, playing in a minimum group of three.
  • Tournament Conditions: The policy must be bound before the tournament starts, and all changes must be communicated to the insurer at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Exclusions: Employees of the golf course or the insurance company and professional golfers may be ineligible to claim the prize.
  • Course Setup: The hole must remain the same to increase the chances of a hole-in-one, and all equipment used must meet official golf standards.

Costs

The cost of Hole-in-One insurance varies based on several factors, including the number of participants, the distance of the designated hole, and the value of the prize. For example, insuring a $5,000 prize might cost around $100 in premiums, depending on these variables. Contact your friendly Waypoint broker for a quote.

Exclusions and Limitations

Specific conditions must be met to ensure prize validation, such as the required distance from the hole for men and women and the amateur status of the golfers. These details are critical for understanding the coverage and ensuring compliance during the event. Failure to adhere to the policy condition may result in the coverage being denied. Be sure to discuss the conditions and exclusions with your broker.
