Humanity's grip on golf's top ranks looks set to be challenged after a robot's hole-in-one on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale.

Meet Eldrick, named after golfing great Tiger Woods, who on the fifth attempt, took a swing and nailed an ace on the par-three hole, cueing raucous cheers from the crowd.

Spectators showered the green in beer to mark the occasion.

It has been 19 years since the young Eldrick, Tiger Woods, executed a famous hole-in-one on the exact same hole.
