Over the last few years, professional athletes and winning boats have become a tradition at the American Century Championship. Philadelphia Phillies legend Jimmy Rollins became the latest one to do so on Saturday.
Rollins is participating in the ACC celebrity golf tournament this weekend in Lake Tahoe, and on Saturday, he earned himself a new boat. On the par-3, 12th hole of the tournament, Rollins nailed a hole-in-one to win himself a luxury MasterCraft X24 speedboat valued at about $380,000.
"I got my first hole-in-one and won a boat," Rollins said as he celebrated full of joy (h/t CBS Sports).

What a day for former @MLB star Jimmy Rollins!pic.twitter.com/ZnPKeIqFuS
Rollins joins former Raiders' receiver Tim Brown and Golden State Warriors' superstar Steph Curry as the trio that have sunk a hole-in-one to win a boat at the ACC in the last three years.
Entering round three of the tournament, Rollins sits in 48th place at 3-over. However, despite where he finishes in the tournament, Rollins will go home a winner.
The former MLB star played 17 years in the league, and the first 15 of his career with the Phillies. The three-time All-Star did it all with the Phillies, earning four Gold Gloves, a Silver Slugger, and the 2008 World Series championship in Philadelphia. In his 2007 MVP season, Rollins led the MLB with 20 triples and 139 runs scored.
After getting 18 percent of the votes in 2025, Rollins will be in his fifth year on the Hall of Fame ballot next time around. It looks like the MLB legends' skills on the diamond translated to the green on Saturday, at least for one hole.
