Superhole IV is an event series throughout the year put on by the ACL, it involves 32 pros from the ACL teaming up with 32 celebrities to compete for charity.
It ends with the finals, played alongside the ACL World Championships, this August.
SuperHole began in 2019, with New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones taking on then New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and has evolved into what we see today, a multi-event series with participants that has included two-time SuperHole champion Doug Flutie, Rashad Jennings, Mac Jones, Devonta Smith, Jay Cutler, Shemar Moore, Phil Hellmuth, David Lim, Dawn Staley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Dale Moss, Chuck Lidell, Vernon Davis, Zach Miller, Dion Dawkins, Kyle Van Noy, Greg Gaines, Terry Kirby, Brett Young, Jeff Mauro and more.
This year is the first year of mixing it up with the football players teaming up with ACL professionals.
“The SuperHole has continued to grow and evolve over the years, and we’re excited for Kansas to feature the first inter-squad field of competitors — for fans of football, cornhole, and in particular Bills Mafia, this is going to be an interesting matchup,” said Stacey Moore, commissioner and founder of the American Cornhole League in the news release. “I’m sure all the players are excited to get a chance to compete against their teammates, especially in the backyard of one of their biggest competitors the past few years.”
