Noah Kahan sank a hole in one in Boston.


Noah Kahan had himself a week in Boston that included a string of shows at Fenway Park. He became the first artist to headline four consecutive nights at the venue while being inducted into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame.

The cherry on top came at the Boston Golf Club. Kahan sank a hole in one on his first shot at No. 11, or so he says…

A viral claim surfaced soon after the clip was posted to social media. One user says it was a PR stunt contrived to gain online clout. An unverified screenshot was provided as evidence.

Kahan responded to the accusation on X after the fact. He vehemently denies any nefariousness.

Noah Kahan sank a hole in one in Boston.

The singer/songwriter is an avid golfer. He joined Boston Common Golf as an investor in 2026 where he started his own youth impact program.

“Golf has been therapeutic for me,” he said via Fogolf. “It’s been really the only thing that stayed consistent in my life the past 2½ years. I could be anywhere, just had the biggest show in my life, but I go out and play a round of golf in the morning — and it would humble me, obviously, because I’m terrible — but also it would just feel like it brought me back to a place of Zen and a place of even ground again.”

He admits struggling at times. That was not the case this past weekend.

A former Massachusetts resident, Kahan returned home for a four-night stay in Boston. He left with a few feathers in his cap.

One of his accomplishments was quickly questioned on social media. Did he really sink a hole in one?

User alleges PR stunt.

There is no video of the shot itself. Only of his reaction on the green.

X account @MikeyGrabBags says it received information that the ace was a fake. Noah Kahan did it for clout. He tipped big to get staffers to follow through on the alleged ruse.

The artist responded to the claims in attempts to clear his name. “I tipped big, and made a one,” he said in the replies. “Truly would never put my life on the line like that.”

He continued on in the comments section to confirm the feat. “I see you, but dude I made that ace.”

It’s now his word against Mikey’s. I’ll choose to side with the songwriter. Noah Kahan drained a hole in one. It was just one highlight of an epic weekend.

Noah Kahan is in the Fenway Music Hall of Fame.

He joins Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, and the Zac Brown Band. His four nights of sellouts drew more than 150,000 fans. During an on-stage segment, he fielded a phone call from his mom informing him of the HoF honor.

“I can’t believe you’re the only artist to ever sell out four consecutive nights at Fenway Park. But I’m not surprised. I knew you could do it, I’ve known all along. I also have some news to share. On behalf of Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox, you are officially being inducted into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame!”

The performances were part of his Great Divide Tour, which will run through late August in the US. The scenes at Fenway were incredible.

Noah Kahan had an epic weekend. In a matter of days, he did things that most others will never achieve in a lifetime, that hole in one included. We’ll leave you with another clip of his stellar performance in Boston and a question.
