Tony Jacklin, according to these sites:
The first televised hole-in-one was Tony Jacklin's ace of the 16th hole at Royal St. Georges in the 1967 Dunlop Masters.

While Seve's golfing career had started so famously hitting stones on the beach at Pedreņa in Northern Spain, the more unlikely birthplace for my own life in golf was an East London council house one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1967. My Dad was out with my Grandad watching West Ham (predictably enough, I see that they lost 1-2 at home to Wolves) and I was in my grandmother's living room in Barking, when they interrupted the football results to show a young Tony Jacklin making the world's first ever televised hole-in-one on the 16th hole at Sandwich.
