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.


Disclaimer:

This item features a Gold OVD, as a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the hole cup collection, verifying its direct use during the 2025 PGA Championship. Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a tournament used hole cup. The cover image has been edited for a white background.


Quail Hollow Club, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, has hosted some of the most significant tournaments in golf, including the 2017 PGA Championship and the 2022 Presidents Cup. Its challenging layout and championship pedigree made it a fitting stage for the 2025 PGA Championship, where precision, length, and composure were tested across all 18 holes.


This item is part of an official collaboration between The Realest™ and the PGA of America, designed to make authenticated tournament-used artifacts available directly to fans for the first time. Every piece has been verified in coordination with on-site PGA Championship operations staff and TRuEST™ authenticators.
