Have a golf event?
Get Prize Coverage
We specialize in serving two specific audiences that need something different from a standard prize coverage provider.
-
Charity & Fundraising Golf Events
Your tournament exists to raise as much money as possible for a cause. A dramatic hole-in-one prize builds excitement before the event even begins—driving more registrations, sponsorships, and donations. We help nonprofits, schools, and organizations create that buzz with high-impact prizes, without exposing them to financial risk.
-
Corporate
Golf
OutingsMost providers hand you a certificate and leave the rest up to you. We deliver a complete contest setup so your event looks polished and runs smoothly from the first tee to the final presentation—giving sponsors visibility and participants a professional, memorable experience.
Set Up Your Contest With Confidence
Here's what's included with your coverage package:
Contest Design
We help you select the right par-3 hole, determine the appropriate yardage, and structure the contest rules clearly so there's no ambiguity on the day of the event.
Prize Selection
Choose from vehicles, cash prizes, vacations, electronics, or custom prize packages. We'll help you match the prize to your audience — what excites corporate executives may differ from what motivates charity supporters.
Witness & Documentation Requirements
We walk you through exactly what's required to validate a winning shot, so there's no scrambling if it actually happens.
Day-of Coordination Support
Questions on the day of your event? We're available. You'll have a direct contact who knows your event.
Certificate of Prize Coverage
Provided promptly after purchase, with clear terms your golf course and sponsors can review and accept.
Shape-cut Hole in One Sponsor Signs
A contest without a great sign is a missed opportunity. Your prize sign is the first thing golfers see when they walk up to the tee box — it sets expectations, drives excitement, and gives your sponsor (or your organization) premium visibility for the entire round.
We produce fully custom hole in one sponsor signs that include:
- Your organization's name and logo or your sponsor's branding
- The prize description — vehicle make and model, cash amount, or custom prize
- Contest rules presented cleanly so golfers understand at a glance
- Professional-grade printing suitable for outdoor tournament conditions
Why Custom Signage Matters for Sponsors
If you're selling a hole on your signature par-3 to a sponsor, that sponsor expects their name front and center. A professional, branded sign justifies a higher sponsorship fee and makes the sponsor feel their investment was worth it. We've seen organizations increase par-3 sponsorship revenue significantly just by upgrading from a generic sign to a fully custom-designed display.
Why Custom Signage Matters for Your Brand
If your charity or company is sponsoring the prize itself, your sign is your brand moment. It hangs at the most exciting hole on the course, photographed dozens of times and remembered long after the round ends.
All signage ships directly to your event venue. Rush delivery is available for last-minute events.
What Kind of Prize Should You Offer?
The right prize depends on your audience, your budget, and what will generate the most excitement. Here's a breakdown of the most popular options:
Automobile Prizes
The most dramatic and most photographed prize in golf. A car on the tee box changes the energy of your entire event. We work with an extensive dealership network — from practical SUVs to aspirational sports cars — at no cost unless someone aces it.
Best for: Charity fundraisers & corporate outings where wow factor is critical.
Cash Prizes
Flexible, immediately understood, and universally motivating. Scale from $5,000 for a local outing up to $100,000+ for high-profile tournaments. Easy to advertise and require no logistics beyond the check.
Best for: Diverse golfer demographics & events where logistics are a constraint.
Vacation & Experience
Golf trips, luxury travel packages, and destination experiences are increasingly popular alternatives to cash. These prizes photograph well and create an emotional connection a dollar figure sometimes can't.
Best for: Corporate audiences where the prize is part of the event's marketing.
Custom & Branded
Something unique that no other tournament offers. We create a prize package that aligns with your identity — a branded experience, a product bundle, or a cause-driven contribution.
Best for: Organizations that want their prize to reinforce their brand story.
Why Charity Golf Events Benefit from Prize Coverage
Nonprofits and fundraising events face a unique challenge: you need to generate maximum excitement with minimum overhead. Every dollar spent on administration is a dollar not going to your cause.
Prize coverage solves this problem elegantly:
Offer bigger prizes than you could ever afford outright. A $30,000 cash prize or a new vehicle would be financially reckless to self-insure. With coverage, you pay a small premium — often a fraction of a percent of the prize value — and your donor dollars stay protected.
Attract larger sponsorships. Sponsors want visibility and excitement. A sponsored hole in one contest gives them both.
The coverage enables you to make the prize large enough that sponsors are willing to pay a premium for their name on the sign.
Tax considerations. Consult with your organization's financial advisor, but the premium for prize coverage is typically a deductible tournament expense — unlike a prize payout, which would come from your fundraising proceeds.
We've helped hundreds of charity golf tournaments use hole in one coverage to raise more money than they ever could have with a conventional format.

Common Questions About Golf Event Prize Coverage
Q: Do I need coverage if I'm offering a small prize?
A: Not always — but if your prize value is $5,000 or more, coverage almost always makes financial sense. Below that threshold, you can self-insure. Above it, the premium is typically far less than the risk exposure.
Q: Can I get coverage for multiple holes?
A: Yes. Many tournaments set up coverage on multiple par-3 holes, or combine a hole in one contest with a putting contest and other prize formats. We'll help you design the right contest structure for your goals.
Q: Is there a deadline to purchase coverage before my event?
A: Coverage must be purchased before the event begins — but the earlier the better, as it gives us time to produce and ship your custom signage. We recommend contacting us at least 3–4 weeks before your event date.
Q: Do you work with events outside the United States?
A: Our primary service area is the United States. Contact us directly to discuss international event needs.
Q: What makes you different from other hole in one coverage providers?
A: Most providers focus on the insurance certificate. We focus on the full contest experience — prize selection, signage, setup guidance, and support on the day of your event. Our background in automotive dealer promotions means we understand high-stakes prizes and professional presentation better than anyone in the space.
