Golfer Jimmy Elliott Donates $100K from Challenge

Bryson DeChambeau's social media challenge led to Jimmy Elliott winning $100,000 after hitting his first career hole-in-one during an event over DeChambeau's Texas home. Elliott plans to donate a portion of his winnings, calling the experience life-changing. Meanwhile, Hideki Matsuyama, coming off a record-breaking performance, is a leading contender at the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii, which has an $8.7 million prize purse, and he currently ranks tied for 26th after a lackluster opening round. The tournament winner will receive $1.56 million and 500 FedEx Cup points. Additionally, the 2025 Australian Open is set to feature a total prize fund of A$96.5 million, reflecting an 11.56% increase from the previous year, with significant earnings for men's and women's singles players. The growing trend of One-And-Done fantasy pools in golf reflects the increasing popularity of season-long contests that combine elements of fantasy sports with traditional betting on player performances.
