Former MLB star Jimmy Rollins wins $325,000 boat with hole-in-one
Jimmy Rollins left his American Century Championship round Saturday with a boat after his first-ever hole-in-one. Rollins, the former longtime Phillies shortstop, sank a shot on the 12th hole Saturday at Edgewood Tahoe Resort, and he celebrated by jumping into NFL wide receiver Davante Adams' arms with a Mastercraft boat — Rollins' was valued at approximately $325,000, according to the Daily Mail — on display in the background. 'It's funny because last night I prayed for a hole-in-one,' Rollins said, according to the Daily Mail. 'And it happened to come true. Prayers were answered today.'

Baseball legend Jimmy Rollins wins $325,000 boat after incredible hole-in-one at celebrity golf tournament
Former baseball star Jimmy Rollins won a $325,000 speedboat after a stunning hole-in-one at the American Century Championship on Saturday. The former Phillies, Dodgers and White Sox star made the ace on the par-three 12th hole at Edgewood on the shores of Lake Tahoe. It was the 46-year-old's first ever hole-in-one and his prize was a brand new Mastercraft X24. The boat was parked by the tee where Rollins took out a wedge and found the hole from 139 yards. He later had the chance to ride an X24 on the waters of Lake Tahoe. 'It's funny because last night I prayed for a hole-in-one,' Rollins said. 'And it happened to come true. Prayers were answered today.' He continued 'After yesterday's round, it was, like: "I just want to go out there and not embarrass myself, to be honest..."' "I got my first hole-in-one and won a boat." ⛳️🚤 What a day for former @MLB star Jimmy Rollins! — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) July 12, 2025 'But as we pulled up to the hole, the volunteer there said: "They got this right up there for you guys. They really want to give away this boat." 'I was like, "Oh, they do? She was like, "Yeah. It's right up front. All you have to do is land it to the right and let it feed to the left." Before taking his tee shot, Rollins even jokingly jumped on the boat and declared: 'This is mine'. He was playing alongside NFL star Davante Adams, who began shouting 'jump in the hole' after the ball landed. When it dropped, Adams ran over for a chest bump with the MLB star as wild celebrations broke out. 'He's a pretty big guy. I had to make sure I got off the ground. I'm only 175lbs! I'm not used to hitting men like that,' Rollins joked afterwards. 'What a great place to get it done... I've gotten close four times and the total distance that I missed it by probably adds up to about a 1ft and a half. When it went in, it was definitely a shock.' It is the third straight year that someone has hit a hole-in-one at the tournament, which brings dozens of celebrities to Stateline. Rollins revealed he may leave the boat in Tahoe, adding: 'I'm a California kid, doesn't take much to come up to Tahoe. Now I have even more of a reason.'
