Genesis Invitational: Will Zalatoris wins luxury cars for himself, caddie with hole-in-one at Riviera

As if the euphoria of making a one-in-a-lifetime hole-in-one at one of the most prestigious events and courses on the PGA Tour calendar isn’t enough of a reward, Will Zalatoris also earned a pair of luxury cars for his ace at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera on Friday.

On the 184-yard par-3 14th, Zalatoris whipped the ball 136 miles per hour off the tee and onto the front left side of the green, where it proceeded to calmly roll into the cup. Zalatoris — who recently recovered from serious back surgery — threw himself into the arms of his caddie, Joel Stock.

Their pronounced celebration occurred before Zalatoris was informed that a hole-in-one at the Genesis yields an event-specific reward: a Genesis GV80 SUV for the player — which typically costs nearly $60,000 —  and an Electrified GV70, which runs closer to $70,000. Sheesh.
