OK Savings Bank announced on the 5th that it will hold the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) regular tour 'OK Savings Bank's Etonman Open' (total prize money of 800 million won and winning prize money of 144 million won) at 'Club 72 Sky Course' in Yeongjong-do, Incheon, for three days from the 13th to the 15th.
The tournament will attract the gallery with a solid lineup with a number of top golf stars, including Choi Hye-jin, who is active in the LPGA Tour, and Park Hyun-kyung, Yoo Hyun-joo, and Yoon In-na, who are active in the KLPGA.
In particular, this year's competition will feature all leading players from the golf scholarship program 'OK Golf Course Students' sponsored by OK Financial Group. In the case of this competition, 14 former OK golf course students, including Kim Woo-jung, who recently signed an official sponsorship contract with OK Financial Group, Park Hyun-kyung, Lim Hee-jung (2nd), Yoon Na (4th), Hwang Yoo-min (5th), and Bang Shin-sil (6th), will participate. This is the largest scholarship student participation since the company's golf tournament was held.
OK Savings Bank has prepared a generous prize for galleries who visited the site.
All galleries who have purchased paid tickets will be provided with entrance gifts containing various gifts such as umbrellas, mask packs, and sun patches.
The gallery, which won the first prize in the on-site giveaway event, will be given Hyundai Motor 'Casper' as a gift, and through a lottery, it will also deliver golf equipment from New Golf and custom coffee Kakao Nut drip bags to give on-site galleries thrilling fun.
In addition, OK Savings Bank plans to install hole boards and advertising boards containing the images of scholarship students from the 1st to 9th grades and riders throughout Club 72 Sky Course so that golf fans who visit the site can see the faces of the students at the OK golf course leading the KLPGA.
A fan signing event was also prepared so that fans who visited the site could communicate closely with the players and build memories, and free shuttle buses were operated at gallery parking lots and airport freight office stations to enhance the convenience of galleries' transportation.
An official from OK Savings Bank said, "This tournament is attended by more players from OK golf course who are shining KLPGA, and golf stars who are raising K-Golf's status by performing on domestic and international stages are participating more than ever, so please show a lot of interest and support."We have prepared various events and rich prizes to give memories to fans who visited the site, so I hope many golf fans will visit the site and make it a festival that everyone enjoys."
This year marks the 14th anniversary of the opening of the OK Savings Bank Etman, which began in 2010 with 'Happiness Sharing Classics'. Since then, it has been held for 12 years until 2022 under the name of 'OK Financial Group Pak Se-ri Invitational', and last year, it was given a new title of 'OK Financial Group Etman Open'. In last year's competition under the new title, Madasom was honored as a champion.
