Hole-in-One Golfing Events are unique in that they offer a specific prize to a participant that aces an identified hole. The prizes may incorporate cash, new vehicles, or other luxury goods. Sponsors need to purchase a special type of indemnification prize coverage to protect themselves from losses before the event takes place. Insurance coverage is subject to a situation when a hole in one is played and the prize is presented. Typically, a minimum of 2 contest officials must verify the hole in one and that it was played according to rules before insurance covers the loss.

1. For-Children, a childhood disease charity, organized a golfing fundraiser. They advertised a $50,000 cash prize for any golfer who would make a hole in one on hole number 13. The very first golfer to swing his club aced that specific hole and was declared winner of the prize. Luckily, the insurance coverage that was purchased included unlimited prize restoration. This allowed the promise of awarding another hole in one golfer to be possible. The particular coverage also ensured that For-Children disease charity would win $10,000 because the policy included 20% of the prize value to be given to the charity.
