Price of hole in one in a major?

Ok, we can work this one out. According to another post here the odds are about 7500/1 of a hole in one.

Lets say the field for a tournament is 200. 200 play the first two rounds and then 100 make the cut and play 4 rounds. That makes a total of 600 rounds. There are 3 or 4 par threes on a course. Lets take 3 par threes for example. 600 x 3 = 1800.

7500/1800 = 4.16.

Bookies will never give you that price so I'm going to say 3.50.

Does that make any sense? I'll have a look at the next major and we can compare odds :)

All the best, Shane.

I think your 3.5 is a little too big. The market hasn't settled for the USPGA but by looking at Betfair I think it might be a little under 3.5.

Good effort though.
