While every ace is significant, they may lose some of their significance when you are a former Top 10 player in the world like Will Zalatoris. However, his hole-in-one during the second round of the Genesis Invitational will definitely be a shot he remembers forever.
Well, maybe not the shot itself, but certainly the two rewards that accompanied it.
Zalatoris’ flawless shot occurred on the 184-yard Par 3 14th hole at Riviera on Friday. After the ball flawlessly dropped into the hole, the former Wake Forest standout and his caddie celebrated in a grand manner, and rightfully so. With the ace, both of them were awarded a brand-new vehicle.
Zalatoris received a 2024 Genesis GV80 while his caddie, Joel Stock, will be driving home in a 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70. The combined value of these two cars is approximately $120,000; not too bad at all.
Now the question arises regarding the beverage situation in the clubhouse. According to golf tradition, Zalatoris now owes everyone a complimentary drink. I’m assuming that a cocktail at Riviera Country Club might not be the most cost-effective option, but he can afford it, considering he has already earned over $14 million in his relatively short PGA Tour career.
I’m certain there are a few players out there who will hold Zalatoris accountable for that free drink, and that is truly commendable.
