Hollins earned 46 stableford points at Formby Golf Club to win the first event of the series and book his place in the Celebrity Series Grand Final in the Indian Ocean at the end of the year.
The sports reporter finished three points clear of former Boyzone singer Keith Duffy, who finished second, while former England and Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler came third with 42 points.
The individual competition was played alongside the Celebrity Team competition, where stars of sport and screen joined Legends Tour players in a stableford team event.
Germany’s Alex Cejka, the current Legends Tour Order of Merit leader, led his team to victory, which included former England fast bowler Steve Harmison, former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor and amateur Paul Jenkins, who collectively earned 101 points and defeated Chris Williams’ team on countback.
Williams was joined by former England bowler Darren Gough, ex-Everton defender Alan Stubbs and their amateur, Clare Seddon.
