There is no winner’s purse involved in the annual Masters<\/a> Par 3 contest, but that doesn’t mean money doesn’t regularly change hands between players, which is exactly what happened in Justin Thomas<\/a>‘ group on Wednesday afternoon at Augusta National.<\/p>\n Thomas made the 116th hole-in-one in the event’s history with a perfect shot on the second hole of the Par 3 course. After his golf ball disappeared into the bottom of the cup, the two-time major winner immediately turned to his playing partners and good friends, Jordan Spieth<\/a> and Max Homa<\/a>, and not so subtly let them know they owed him some cash.<\/p>\n Anyone who makes an ace during the Masters Par 3 contest receives a crystal vase from Augusta National, but it’s safe to assume JT was more concerned with taking coin off of Spieth and Homa.\u00a0<\/p>\n The obvious question here is just how much cash were JT, Homa, and Spieth playing for in their hole-in-one game. Normal golfers out there who aren’t worth millions and millions of dollars typically have a built-in hole-in-one pool in whatever gambling game they’re playing on the course worth $100.<\/p>\n Shortly after making his ace, Thomas revealed on the ESPN broadcast that his group’s hole-in-one game involved another zero, with Spieth and Homa on the hook for $1,000 each.<\/p>\n Homa has made over $29 million in his career and Spieth has taken home over $67 million, so forking over $1,000 doesn’t exactly make a dent, but it’s safe to say neither of them will enjoy paying out JT.<\/p>\n
