During the final round of the ADT Championship, scheduled for November 23 at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach a few lucky finalists will be shooting for a million dollar hole-in-one.
The National City Millon Dollar Shootout has announced four ways to qualify for the contest along with corresponding qualifying sites.
Golfers can qualify four different ways: Win a finalist spot at any of the six sites open to the public; win a finalist spot in an official designated charity golf tournament; qualify on the range during the ADT Championship or look for the enter-to-win sweepstakes display at any participating South Florida Publix beginning in mid-October.
The finalists will not only be shooting for a million dollar hole in one ($500,000 to the shooter and $500,000 to designated charities), but also closest-to-the-pin prizes including a $500 Natiional City gift card, two round-trip tickets on American Airlines and a Stay-and-Play package at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida. All proceeds from the National City Million Dollar Shootout will benefit the Susan B. Komen for the Cure Central Florida and South Florida chapters.
