Watch: Taylor Montgomery's group almost pull a hole-in-one prank at the 2023 WWT Championship

Taylor Montgomery joined the stellar field of the 2023 World Wide Championship, which is taking place at Tiger Woods' designed El Cardonal Golf Course from November 2 to 5 in Mexico.

During the first round of the tournament, Montgomery made an amazing shot, which almost got into the hole. He hit the ball and it almost went near the hole.

However, Montgomery was confused about whether it got inside the hole or not. However, his team made him believe that he made a hole-in-one. As he took the shot, his team shouted, "You made it."

"I'm almost certain it did," said Montgomery, who was unsure about his shot.

But his teammates continued making him believe the ball went into the hole.

"No, they would have went crazy," said his teammate.

The PGA Tour shared a clip of his shot on its X account, saying:

"He thought ... Taylor Montgomery's group had him believing he made a hole-in-one @WWTChampionship."

The 2023 World Wide Technology Championship was suspended due to darkness on Thursday, November 2. Following the semi-finished first round of the tournament, Cameron Percy topped the leaderboard of the tournament. He finished with a score of under 10.
