Hole-in-one insurance: prize-indemnity questions

Hole-in-one insurance generally concerns the financial exposure of a prize offered for a qualifying golf achievement at a specified event. It is a specialist prize arrangement, not general insurance for every activity at the tournament.

The distinction that matters

Prize conditions, witnessing and event details can be central to eligibility. Public liability for the event and protection for the promised prize are separate questions.

What to check

  • The named prize and declared value.
  • Hole, distance and participant eligibility.
  • Witness and verification requirements.
  • Cancellation, rescheduling and policy timing.

Example to discuss

Agree the event details and verification process with the provider before promoting the prize, rather than assuming a claim will follow any successful shot.

This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
