Francesco Molinari makes the 46th hole-in-one of the season in Dubai…

Top 10: Hole-in-ones from the PGA and European Tour

Golf can be tough at the best of times for us mere amateurs, and a hole-in-one can seem an almost impossible feat to accomplish.

Watch the pro’s show us how it’s done..

10- Francesco Molinari

24165|c:520x330.img

You’ll struggle to find a more atmospheric hole than the 16th at TPC Scottsdale. The loudest hole in golf lived up to its name when Molinari’s tee shot rolled down to the hole during the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open…

Watch the video here

How about a bonus hole-in-one for the Italian? Here’s what he did at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai on Sunday…

9- Lee Westwood

Hitting a ball to a precise target 160 yards away is tough. Lee Westwood shows us how to do it on a 225-yard par-3 at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia..

Watch the video here

8- Scott Brown

24173%7Cc:520x330.img

You’re playing alongside Tiger Woods, on a Sunday, during the final round of a PGA Tour event. Why not take all the attention away from him by making a hole-in-one? That’s exactly what Scott Brown did at the 2015 Wyndham Championship..

Watch Brown rattle Tiger here

7- Rory McIlroy

24169%7Cc:520x330.img

We couldn’t have a top 10 holes-in-one without Rory’s first professional ace could we? The four-time Major winner hadn’t made a hole in one in his career until he struck gold at the 2015 HSBC Championship in Abu Dhabi…

Watch McIlroy’s golden moment here

6- Leif Olson

24164%7Cc:520x330.img

Possibly one of the luckiest holes in one you are ever likely to see.. check out what happened to Leif Olson’s ball when it found the green during the 1st round of the RBC Canadian Open in 2009…

Watch the video here



5- Ernie Els

24175%7Cc:520x330.img

The Open is back at Royal Troon next July and is home to the memorable ‘Postage Stamp’ par-3 8th hole. A hole that is feared by many, but not by the Big Easy back in 2004..

Watch Ernie put his stamp on Troon here

4- Miguel Angel Jiminez

24172%7Cc:520x330.img

The Spaniard became the first player on the European tour to make 10 hole-in-ones in his career. What better setting than Wentworth to break the record..


Watch the record breaker here

3- Gene Sarazen 

24176|c:520x330.img

Sarazen is well known for his famous shot at the 1935 Masters that was ‘heard around the world’. He too defeated the Postage Stamp at Royal Troon with this magnificent hole-in-one in 1973

Watch Sarazen hole out here

2- Tiger Woods

24166|c:520x330.img

It wasn’t just Molinari who has been lucky enough to hear the famous roar of the 16th at TPC Scottsdale. A young Tiger Woods stepped up to the tee in 1997 and the rest is history..

Watch the birth of Tiger here

1- Jack Nicklaus

24170|c:520x330.img

Can you imagine anything better than watching Jack Nicklaus make a hole-in-one at Augusta? Well in 2015 at the par-3 challenge the Golden Bear left everyone with a smile on their face..

Watch the master at work here
