A: Witness Requirements
In the event a hole-in-one is made, the people involved in the claims process is dependent on the cash value of the prize. If the prize is valued at $10,000 or less, no third party witness is required. A third party witness is defined as an individual at least 18 years of age, and determined to have good moral character by the tournament director. Prizes of $10,001 to $49,999 required one third party witness, positioned such that they are able to see the strike and complete path of each shot. Prizes of $50,000 to $99,999 require two third party witnesses, while prizes of $100,000 and up require three third party witnesses (one of which must be a PGA professional at golf course where tournament is held) along with continuous and un-edited video footage of hole measurement and strike/path of each prize shot.
B: Prize Reset Policy
Once a hole-in-one is scored, what happens after that? What does a second ace win? With Golf Tournament HIO, it depends on the cash value of the prize. Any prize with a value of less than $100,000 resets after a hole-in-one is made, such that multiple winners receive full prize. If the prize value is $100,000 or higher (most commonly seen in $1 Million Shootout) the prize is split between winners at the discretion of the tournament director.
C: Overall Affordability
Based on the field size you chose in step #1, consider how the cash value of your grand prize fits in. If you have a large field of 144 or more players, a high value grand prize will likely eat up much of your budget. If you are interested in a big splash on a single prize hole, that is no problem. However, if you are interested in prizes on each of the par 3 holes, you should consider keeping your grand prize value lower in order to allow you to work in prizes on the remaining holes. On the other hand, if your field size is smaller you may be able to offer a more valuable grand prize and still work in package prizes in budget on the remaining par 3 holes.
