5. It's a unilateral contract. IMO, the golfer gets the truck.

Usually contracts are seen as agreements between two parties. However, there are unilateral contracts, such as an offer made to the public for a certain performance which renders a benefit. Most people are familiar with posters for a missing pet offering a reward for the person who finds and returns the pet to the owner. That is a unilateral contract and it is formed when the pet finder takes the pet to the owner -- the reward is due to the finder.

IMO, the CC and the dealership made an offer to the public, for certain performance, and if the performance was done, a certain benefit would be received. Conclusion: The golfer gets the truck.
