The PVI & wBooking Partnership: Years of Trusted Companionship with Vietnam’s Golf Community
A Hole-in-One moment is the ultimate dream of every golfer — a flash of brilliance that marks a personal milestone and an unforgettable highlight in one’s golfing journey. Yet, that joy is only truly complete when the accompanying rewards are paid out swiftly, transparently, and without administrative hassle. This is precisely the core value delivered by the Hole-in-One (HIO) insurance service under the long-standing partnership between PVI Insurance and wBooking, which has consistently supported Vietnam’s golfing community for many years.
Launched in the early days when Vietnam’s golf market was still emerging, the HIO insurance service jointly developed by PVI and wBooking has gradually established a solid and trusted position. By the end of 2025, the program had served hundreds of thousands of golfers, been deployed at more than 70 golf courses nationwide, and accompanied hundreds of tournaments of all sizes each year. Since inception, over 360 valid HIO/Eagle cases have been verified and paid out, with total compensation and prize value exceeding VND 50 billion, including both cash and high-value gifts.
2025 marked a pivotal year in this journey. Despite market challenges driven by economic fluctuations and changing consumer trends, the HIO insurance service continued to record clear positive momentum. In 2025 alone, hundreds of golfers received HIO/Eagle rewards via the wBooking platform, bringing cumulative payouts close to the VND 50 billion milestone. Claim processing and payout timelines remained among the fastest in the market — within 7 working days for cash packages and up to 15 working days for in-kind rewards. These figures reflect not just luck, but also the strong operational capability, risk management expertise, and commitment of the PVI & wBooking partnership.
Another key highlight in 2025 was the continuous launch and enhancement of new HIO/Eagle insurance packages, making the service increasingly flexible and accessible. The product portfolio is tailored for individual golfers, tournament organizers, and sponsors alike. With premiums ranging from VND 80,000 to VND 400,000 per round, golfers can access coverage worth hundreds of millions — even over VND 1 billion, depending on the package and event. Premium in-kind packages, tournament-specific HIO plans, and HIO–Eagle combo options have expanded protection while helping establish the habit of purchasing HIO insurance every time golfers step onto the course.
The defining differentiator behind the credibility of HIO insurance via wBooking lies in its “fast – simple – hassle-free” service experience. wBooking acts as the golfer’s representative, handling the entire insurance process end-to-end — from event verification and documentation to payout coordination with PVI. Golfers are not required to contact the insurer directly, prepare complex paperwork, or track claims. Once a valid HIO/Eagle event is confirmed, an independent verification process is activated and payouts are handled swiftly, ensuring the victory moment remains uninterrupted.
From tee-time booking and insurance registration to receiving a digitally signed electronic insurance certificate from PVI, the entire process is completed within minutes on the wBooking app. This level of convenience, transparency, and speed has driven near-universal satisfaction among golfers and clearly differentiated the service from traditional models.
In a market where unlicensed or unofficial insurance offerings have occasionally appeared, the PVI–wBooking partnership stands out through its strong legal foundation, transparency, and proven payout record. Every insurance package is fully certified, with clearly guaranteed benefits, helping golfers, tournament organizers, and sponsors completely avoid dispute risks. In fact, for many major tournaments today, having official HIO/Eagle insurance has become an almost mandatory standard.
Beyond claims payments, PVI and wBooking have also contributed to standardizing the entire HIO process in Vietnam — from registration and verification to compensation. This allows tournament organizers to significantly reduce operational pressure, minimize disputes, and focus on enhancing professional quality, gradually aligning Vietnam’s golf market with regional and international best practices.
Looking back on the journey through the end of 2025, the PVI–wBooking HIO insurance service has clearly proven its value: thousands of successful payouts, tens of billions of VND compensated transparently, and hundreds of thousands of golfers protected. Backed by PVI’s strong financial foundation and wBooking’s technology-driven ecosystem, HIO/Eagle insurance delivers not only luck — but complete peace of mind for every historic swing made by Vietnam’s golfers.
