In Gee Chun made a $1 million shot, a hole-in-one at the LPGA’s Chevron Championship
In Gee Chun made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole during the third round of the Chevron Championship on April 22, 2023. The hole-in-one was worth $1 million, which was donated to the LPGA Foundation and Girls Golf of Greater Houston.
The Chevron Championship is a major golf tournament for women that is held annually in The Woodlands, Texas. Chevron, a multinational energy company, is the tournament’s title sponsor. In 2023, Chevron pledged to donate $1 million for the first hole-in-one on the par-3 17th hole. The money would be donated to support partners in diversity, inclusion, and education.
In Gee Chun’s hole-in-one was the first on the 17th hole in the history of the Chevron Championship. She hit her tee shot from 164 yards and the ball landed just inside the left edge of the cup. Chun jumped up and down in excitement after seeing her ball go in the hole. She then high-fived her caddie and other members of her team.
The $1 million donation from Chevron will be split between the LPGA Foundation and Girls Golf of Greater Houston. The LPGA Foundation is a charitable organization that supports the LPGA Tour and its players. Girls Golf of Greater Houston is a non-profit organization that provides golf instruction and opportunities to girls in the Houston area.
In Gee Chun’s hole-in-one was a remarkable feat and a generous gesture. The $1 million donation will make a significant impact on the LPGA Foundation and Girls Golf of Greater Houston.
