The DuPont Cup does not have a single designated Hole-in-One prize hole. Instead, every hole is a designated Hole-in-One prize hole. Any player who scores a hole-in-one on any hole is awarded $1000 cash.
Skins Game
54 Holes of Skins
The 2026 DuPont Cup Tournament will include a skins game. For those who do choose to play for skins, the cost would be $18 per round that they choose to compete in, of which $1 is applied toward each hole. Players can choose to play one round, two rounds, or all three rounds. The skins game is optional, so players could choose not to play at all. Each hole in a round will be worth the same number of skins and will be determined by the number of players participating in the skins game for that round. Low-net score wins the money for the hole. If only one player scores the low-net score, then that player wins all of the money for that hole. When more than one player tie for low-net score, those players split the money equally. Low-net score must be a net birdie or lower. If no player gets a net-birdie or lower on a particular hole, then the skins from that hole carry over to the following hole, making the following hole worth double. If no player scores a net-birdie or better on the 18th hole, then those skins carry over to the winner of the 1st hole.
