Hole in One Insurance

The purpose of insurance is usually to offer financial support during life’s toughest circumstances: the loss of a loved one, the diagnosis of an illness requiring expensive treatment, damage to bottom line caused due to security breach, etc. But there’s one type of insurance that actually comes into play when someone gets unusually lucky on a golf course.

What is Hole in One Insurance?

Hole in One Insurance is a type of prize indemnity insurance offered to golf tournament sponsors who announce valuable prizes for participants who make a hole in one. Although a very rare event, a participant scoring a hole in one is rewarded with highly valuable prizes, such as vacation at an exotic location, expensive cars, and more. Because of their unusual nature and high risk, it can become very challenging for people and institutions that regularly host golf tournaments to find a hole in one insurance policy at affordable rates.

At Atlas Underwriters, we understand the complexities associated with drafting a comprehensive hole in one insurance policy. Therefore, we use our deep expertise and experience of the insurance industry to write policies that offer optimal coverage to you at the right price.

How Much Does Hole in One Insurance Cost?

The cost of a hole in one insurance policy depends primarily on three factors:

• The number of players at an event
• The length of target par 3 hole
• The cash value of prize offered to players who score a hole in one

High number of golfers, shorter distance to the hole, and more valuable prizes result in a higher insurance cost.

Who Needs a Hole in One Insurance Policy?
