This wasn’t your regular hole-in-one attempt…

Here’s what the golfers were up against:

• The Setup: The tee-off spot was on the 22nd floor of the resort—way up there, surrounded by scaffolding and cranes. The hole? A floating green over 200 yards away in Wynn’s marina. No pressure, right?
• The Odds: The chances of landing a hole-in-one? Slim to none. For amateurs, it’s a mind-blowing 12,500:1. Even for the pros, it’s still a tough 2,500:1.
• The Stakes: AED 1M for the UAE-based charity Heroes of Hope, donated in the name of anyone who nailed the shot. High stakes + high altitude = maximum drama.

Wynn Al Marjan Island is rolling in with the LUX treatment—we’re talking Rolls-Royces!

Wynn knows how to keep things classy. Guests were chauffeured to the site in sleek Rolls-Royces before heading up to the 22nd floor. Once there, they got a front-row seat to the excitement of this challenge. Oh, and don’t worry—only floating golf balls were used, and every single one was collected afterward. Sustainability for the win!

You must be eager to know if anyone managed to win. Here’s the tea…

Did anyone land the million-dirham shot? Nope. But the attempts were epic—near-misses had everyone holding their breath. The best part? Wynn still donated the full AED 1M to Heroes of Hope. That’s the kind of class-act move we love to see!
