Golfzon is holding a long drive competition, the “ZXi RKT Long Drive Match”, together with Srixon to select South Korea's longest driver, according to Newsis. Newsis reported that Golfzon announced the event on October 6. Kukmin Ilbo and Seoul Shinmun also reported that the two companies are holding the match, describing it in their headlines as a contest to find the country's longest hitter. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Newsis reported that online preliminaries ran from October 2 to October 18, after which a 19-player tournament final is to be held on October 30 at the Golfzon Joymaru stadium in Daejeon to decide the best long driver. The report said Golfzon organises the event and Srixon hosts it, and that there are no restrictions on region, age or licence, so any golfer can take part. [ 3 ]
The total prize pool is 15 million won, Newsis reported. The winner is to receive 5 million won and a Srixon ZXi RKT driver, and all finalists are to receive set prizes and gifts, it said. To enter the online preliminaries, golfers film a video in practice mode at a Golfzon Park showing their distance record and submit it by email; the top 16 entrants are selected under judging criteria, with daily records and preliminary rankings updated every day from October 6 at 2 p.m. [ 3 ]
Newsis reported that three Team Srixon players join as invited players: Shin Ji-eun, who is to compete against male players, GTOUR player Lee Yong-hee and Kim Jun-nyeon, who works in several fields. The other two documents do not carry these details, the prize figures or the schedule. [ 3 ]
Por qué importa
The event is a domestic brand-backed competition rather than a tour event, and it is open to any golfer regardless of region, age or licence, according to Newsis. It gives Srixon and Golfzon visibility through an amateur-accessible format and an invited professional field. The documents give no wider consequences beyond the competition itself.
