Linda Chen thought she had just won a brand-new Mercedes-Benz after hitting a hole-in-one at a charity golf tournament. Instead, she was denied the prize and filed a lawsuit in response.
“By showing up, entering the Fins on the Fairway golf tournament, her host paying the entry fees, and hitting a hole-in-one,” Chen “accepted the Defendants’ offer, formed a contract, paid consideration, and fulfilled her obligations under the contract,” the lawsuit states. “If you look at Linda Chen’s LinkedIn page, she makes no mention of her amateur status. She made no mention of it AHEAD of the tournament,” Tournament Golf Event owner Timothy Galvin told Fox News in an email. “There were other professional golfers in the event who informed the tournament of their status.”
Galvin, his organization and Ace Hole In One, along with Mercedes-Benz of South Orlando, which advertised the prize, are listed as defendants in the lawsuit.The charity tournament was a fundraiser for Nova Southeastern University Orlando and was held at the Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Central Florida on May 22.But when Chen sunk her ball in one shot on the 11th hole and went to claim her prize, Galvin refused to acknowledge her win, according to her lawsuit, filed Aug. 23.
Galvin told Fox News he wasn’t dismissive of Chen when she approached him at the event. He also said that it wasn’t him, but Ace Hole In One that made the decision about her eligibility.
