Best Bookmaker For Hole In One Betting

Hole In One betting in golf is a popular side-market that presents an opportunity for punters to have a fun bet on whether an Ace is made (or not) during a professional golf tournament.

This market is brought into sharp focus every April when Augusta National takes centre stage for The Masters and, in particular, the par-3 16^th hole which presents players with a live chance of making an Ace, particularly on the final day when the pin position is traditionally placed at the bottom of the hill.

The Masters, though, isn’t the only tournament where you can place a bet on the Hole In One market – due to the differences and vagaries of each tournament, some events and courses present similar if not better opportunities to Augusta in 2024.

As ever, bookmakers have different approaches to the whole topic with varying odds and markets, ranging from a simple ‘yes/no’ bet on whether a Hole In One will be made in any given tournament, to being able to bet on whether an Ace is made in a specific round, on a specific hole, or even by a specific player.

We took a snapshot of the Hole In One markets for a typical week in the schedule on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour to see which of the major bookmakers offered markets on one, or both, events:

Although this may change from week to week based on the size and nature of the tournament on either Tour, this data in isolation suggests that if you want consistent Hole In One markets available to you then bet365, Boylesports and 10bet are your best options.

Given their comprehensive coverage of the Hole In One market on both Tours, It’s no surprise that the same three bookmakers, bet365, Boylesports and 10bet offer hole in one betting by individual player also.

Using the Fortinet Championship as our example, all 3 bookmakers started their markets at 100/1 for an individual player to make an Ace, however only bet365 offered longer prices – up to 150/1 – on lesser fancied players.

Odds for illustrative purposes only and correct at 15:00BST 14.9.22.

To this end, if you’re interested in a punt on whether a specific player or not may make an Ace any given week, then bet365 would appear to be your first port of call.

Three other bookmakers make the frame when it comes to additional Hole In One markets, in particular betting on an Ace in a specific round.

Unibet, Coral and Ladbrokes all allow you to bet on whether (or not) a Hole In One will be made on a specific round. The relevance of this was illustrated with the 17^th hole at August National example at the top of this page, where pin positions on any given day can make the likelihood of an Ace higher or lower.

Unibet take things a step further by offering odds on 2 or more Aces, so if you fancy a glut of Hole In Ones on any given week:

Taking the theme of this page a step further, some bookmakers also offer odds on whether or not there’ll be an Albatross. Odds were for the Fortinet Championship for illustration purposes and were correct at 15:00BST 14.9.22.

• Bet365            12/1
• Ladbrokes:     14/1
• Coral:              14/1
• Unibet             10/1
• 10bet               14/1

Naturally odds will vary from tournament to tournament, however if you’re interested in Albatross betting then this should give you a starting point as to where to look first.

1: bet365

With their comprehensive markets on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, combined with the fact that they offer differentiated odds by player as well as Albatross betting, bet365 are the number 1 bookmaker for Hole In One betting.

If you’re new to bet365 then their latest new customer offer and bonus code are detailed below:

2: 10bet

10bet run a close 2^nd place given that they offer the same markets as bet365, with the only discernable difference being that they don’t differentiate odds on their Hole In One By Player market. One thing that we’ve noted with 10bet though is that they aren’t shy when it comes to having market-leading odds on any of their markets, so it’s well worth having them as an option in your punting portfolio.

3: Boylesports

With similar comprehensive Hole In One markets and odds by player for the whole field, Boylesports also deserve a mention. They don’t currently offer Albatross betting, however they more than make up for that omission with their market-leading in-play markets which we go into more detail about here.
