When it comes to hole-in-one contest prizes, tournament organizers have options. But cash prizes have become the go-to choice for most events — and for good reasons. At Coast to Coast Hole in One, we help directors and charities build prize packages every season, and cash consistently delivers the strongest results.
Cash Appeals to Every Player in the Field
Merchandise prizes have a built-in limitation: not everyone wants the same thing. Cash, on the other hand, is universally appealing. It speaks to every player regardless of skill level or preference — and that universal appeal is exactly what a hole-in-one cash prize insurance policy makes financially safe to offer.
Cash Is Easier to Market
A specific dollar amount is one of the most compelling things you can put on a prize sign or tournament flyer. Players understand immediately what is at stake. There is no need to explain or estimate value — a cash number communicates everything instantly. That simplicity makes cash prizes a natural fit for tournament marketing across corporate, charity, and sponsored events.
No Logistics, No Storage
Merchandise prizes require sourcing, transportation, storage, and distribution. Cash has none of those complications. When a qualifying ace is made and golf tournament prize insurance covers the payout, the process is clean and immediate.
The Smart Risk-Free Approach
The real power of an insured cash prize is the combination of a prize compelling enough to generate excitement with coverage that removes payout risk from the organizer. With affordable hole-in-one insurance, cost is based on the number of registered golfers, hole yardage, and prize value — a scalable solution for any size event.
Bonus hole-in-one prizes for additional par 3 holes are included at no extra cost, so the excitement of cash prizes extends across more of the course. Prize signs for all insured holes are included at no charge when coverage is arranged at least seven business days before the event.
