Genesis, the best assistant in the KPGA Tour, will provide a hole-in-one injury to the KPGA Championship again this time.
The nation's most prestigious competition, the 68th KPGA Championship with A-ONE CC (hereinafter referred to as the KPGA Championship), will be held at A1CC in Yangsan, Gyeongnam from the 19th.
Players who record a hole-in-one for the first time at Hole 17 (par 3) during the tournament will receive the Genesis GV60 partial change model as an injury. The Genesis has been sponsoring a hole-in-one injury on the 17th hole 'KPGA Championship' for eight consecutive years from 2018 to this season.
So far, only one player has succeeded in making a hole-in-one at A1CC's 17th hole. A very tricky hole with a distance of close to 200m. In the second round of the 2018 tournament, Lee Keun-ho (42) recorded a hole-in-one. Lee Keun-ho received the Genesis G70 for his injury.
As there has been no hole-in-one in the 17th hole since 2018, one of the points to watch is who will make a hole-in-one in the 17th hole of this tournament.
Jeon Ga-ram (30.LS), who won the KPGA Championship last year and will compete as the defending champion, said, `I want to win the second consecutive championship, but my goal is to make a hole-in-one at Hole 17, where the Genesis is at stake due to injury. It's mineAfter smiling and saying "As I have good memories with Genesis, I will aim for a hole-in-one in the 17th hole of this competition. I would like to thank Genesis for always supporting the KPGA Tour players and serving as a strong supporter.
Genesis is creating a culture of respect for caddies that provides hole-in-one injuries not only to players but also to caddies in the event of a hole-in-one, and Jeon Ga-ram recorded a hole-in-one in the 17th hole of the third round of the 'Genesis Championship' held in October 2023, and GV70 was provided as an injury.
Meanwhile, KPGA and Genesis first formed a relationship in 2016 by introducing Genesis Point, the first point system on the KPGA Tour. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of Genesis points. In addition, in April last year, it signed a contract to extend the sponsorship of Genesis points until 2026.
Genesis continues to serve as the top facilitator of the development of Korean professional golf through various sponsorship marketing, including sponsorship of the Genesis point system and hosting the Genesis Championship.
