This golfing robot becomes the first to score a hole-in-one

Robots may take our jobs — and replace our athletes too. One robot, Eldrick, named after well-known golfer Tiger Woods, was able to achieve a hole-in-one on his fifth swing at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The robot, the Launch Directional Robot Intelligent Circuitry, was developed by an independent testing facility called Golf Laboratories which manufactures and sells numerous robots of this nature.

Watch Eldrick ace a hole-in-one on the course’s 163-yard 16th hole, which is also where (Eldrick) Tiger Woods aced the same hole in 1997.
