# Watch a Pro Golfer Hit a Hole-In-One and Win a $142,500 BMW M8 Coupe

As a prize for hitting a jaw-dropping hole-in-one, golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar drove away from last weekend's BMW International Open in the title sponsor's latest and greatest grand tourer: [the all-new, 617-horsepower BMW M8 Competition](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/28381/5-killer-details-about-bmws-all-new-m8-coupe-convertible-and-competition>). Priced at $142,500 before destination, the flagship M sure beats that coffee maker your company handed out to the last employee of the month.

From a staggering 196 yards away, Bhullar sunk a ball into Golfclub München Eichenried's par-3 17th hole in a single shot.

"This is my second hole-in-one in a professional golf tournament," [said Bhullar.](<https://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2019/tournamentid=2019054/news/newsid=371714.html>) "Before starting this year, I discussed with my caddie one of my dreams, I said I need to make at least one hole-in-one and choose the right one. I'm glad we made that commitment."

The 2020 BMW M8 Competition Coupe is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. It gets from zero to 62 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds and features the same RWD-selectable all-wheel-drive system from [the M5](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/24259/2018-bmw-m5-test-drive-review-luxury-sedan-or-supercar-but-never-both-at-the-same-time>), as well as Adaptive M Suspension and a Competition-only Track Mode.

**BMW AG**

In case you were unaware, [BMW](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/27101/2019-bmw-x7-first-drive-review>) has made a tradition out of bestowing a car to the first golfer to hit a hole-in-one at BMW-sponsored tournaments. Below is a highlight reel of 14 other times it's happened. Unless you're already a die-hard enthusiast of launching ridiculously small balls into ludicrously far away holes, this is the most fun you'll have watching golf all year, we guarantee it.

"It's a great moment," Bhullar added. "BMWs are some of my favorite cars and I'd love to drive that car.
