Hole One (HIO) insurance is a specific type of insurance called “Prize Indemnity,” designed to cover risks associated with Hole in One contests featured in golf tournaments. These contests can help golf tournaments in a number of ways, including increasing participation, adding crowd excitement, and boosting fundraising at golf tournaments. These golf events can range from a small local charity event all the way to PGA or LIV events, and everything in between.
This insurance allows tournaments to offer large prizes, such as cash, cars, or vacations, without the risk of having to pay out these prizes from their own funds. Instead, a company like American Hole ‘n One assumes the responsibility of paying the prize if a golfer manages to hit a hole in one on an insured prize hole at the event.
Although it will depend on the specific company offering the HIO insurance, here are some examples of what American Hole ‘n One will insure at golf events:

Unfortunately, there are many different variables to consider when rating hole in one coverage, so there is no way to give you a blanket estimate of what one of these contests costs. However, we can share what factors our underwriters examine to determine the cost of HIO insurance so you can get an idea of why premiums cost what they do.
For other kinds of golf contests, the exact criteria may change slightly, but the underlying principles will remain the same. Premiums will be impacted by how much the payout is worth and how likely it is someone will win the prize.
