PGA Championship Hole 4 Hole Cup – 5/15/2025 to 5/17/2025 (Eric Cole Hole-in-One)
Used on Hole 4 during Thursday through Saturday rounds of the PGA Championship, including Eric Cole’s hole-in-one on Thursday.
Description
Tournament-used hole cup from Hole 4 at Quail Hollow Club, site of the 2025 PGA Championship. This cup was in play from Thursday, May 15 through Saturday, May 17 during Rounds 1–3 of the championship. On Thursday afternoon, Eric Cole made a hole-in-one at the 184-yard par 3. His tee shot landed on the front edge, bounced four times, and rolled directly into this cup.
Following Cole’s ace, a TRuEST™ authenticator covertly marked the cup in place. It remained in use for the next two rounds and was retrieved after play concluded on Saturday. The Gold OVD hologram was applied by a TRuEST™ authenticator during the final round on Sunday, confirming its direct use during tournament play on all three days.
