OutKick • • sports
Key Points:
- Justin Thomas made the 116th hole-in-one in the Masters Par 3 contest history on the second hole, prompting a friendly wager with playing partners Jordan Spieth and Max Homa.
- Despite no official prize money in the contest, Thomas's hole-in-one triggered a $1,000 payout from both Spieth and Homa as part of their informal betting game.
- The hole-in-one reward from Augusta National is a crystal vase, but the monetary side bets among players often carry significant sums, especially among high-earning professionals like Thomas, Spieth, and Homa.
- This is not the first time Spieth has lost money to Thomas in the Par 3 contest, as Thomas previously made back-to-back holes-in-one with Rickie Fowler in 2016, indicating the event has become costly for Spieth over time.
