Hole-in-one insurance — what it is and how to get it

Hole-in-one insurance is prize indemnification: an insurer covers a large hole-in-one prize so your charity is not on the hook if a player aces the hole.

Overview

Offering a big hole-in-one prize draws excitement and entries, but paying out a car or a large cash prize would be a serious risk. A hole-in-one policy transfers that risk to an insurer. If a player makes the ace, the insurer pays the prize, not the charity.

The sponsorship math

The numbers work strongly in the organizer's favor. A policy that costs roughly $499 can be sold as a $1,200 to $1,500 hole sponsorship. That leaves $700 to $1,000 of pure profit for the charity, plus the on-course excitement of a marquee prize.
