Choi Kyung-ju (54, SK Telecom) is a pioneer in Korean men's golf and has made his name widely known on the world stage.
Many amateur golfers admire Choi and dream of succeeding him on the global stage. For male golfers preparing for the event, Choi is a symbol of inspiration and hope beyond mere sports stars.
Hyundai Marine & Marine Insurance's Choi Kyung-ju Invitational was created by such a player to develop Korean golf. Marking its eighth anniversary this year, the competition has been carefully prepared for the development of Korean men's golf skills, which has special meaning for both players and galleries. The competition, which costs 1.25 billion won in total prize money, will be held at Yeoju Ferrum Club in Gyeonggi Province, drawing keen attention to who will be the winner of the trophy.
The characteristic of this competition is that it minimizes the burden on the participating players and allows them to perform at their best. Not only is the participation fee provided to all the players, but also the preliminary prize money is paid equally to the players ranked 61st or lower after passing the cut. It provides opportunities not only for the top-ranked players but also for the middle and lower-ranked players, and has contributed greatly to improving the players' skills.
The competition focused not only on providing consideration for athletes but also providing convenience for galleries. The shuttle bus, which runs frequently during the competition, allowed galleries to move conveniently and prepared various prize events, drawing keen attention from galleries.
Among them, the most talked about was the free "ㅎㅎ" bread. During the competition, the organizers provided all galleries with free "ㅎㅎ" bread with Hyundai Marine's initials, adding to the joy of viewing.
In this competition, Choi's deep affection and passion are everywhere. After finishing the third round, he held a special fan signing event for the galleries.
At this meeting, Choi spent precious time with his fans, signing autographs and taking pictures together.
Choi Kyung-ju, who was willing to meet with fans even in a physically difficult situation, expressed his affection for the fans, saying, "I'm happy to express my gratitude to those who came from afar."
Beyond his role as just a tournament host, Choi has consistently dedicated himself to the future of Korean golf. Founded in 2007, the Choi Kyung-ju Foundation has been supporting aspiring golfers and constantly striving for the development of Korean golf.
Dream tree athletes from the foundation are developing their dreams through the foundation's full support, and they also expressed their bold ambition to "make a name on the world stage like Choi Kyung-ju."
These efforts by the Choi Kyung-ju Foundation are expected to contribute greatly to the development of Korean golf skills in the future.
The Choi Kyung-ju Invitational has become an important venue for nurturing leading players who will lead the future of Korean golf beyond just competitions. With the question of who will get the trophy of this competition, Choi and Hyundai Marine, the host company, will have a long-lasting influence on Korean golf. 메이저놀이터
