[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○... "Major queens' screen showdown."


On the 25th, the 'Golfzon LPGA Match Play Challenge' will take place. Major champions of the LPGA Tour such as 'Golf Empress' Park In-bi (32, KB Financial Group), Yoo So-yeon (30, Mediheal), Lydia Ko (New Zealand), and Pernilla Lindberg (Sweden) will compete in 2-on-2 matches. The event will be held simultaneously at Golfzon Joymaru in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, and the World Golf Hall of Fame located in St. Augustine, Florida, USA.


It is interesting that the tournament will be conducted by connecting the venues in Korea and the USA in real-time via video using Golfzon's screen golf system and online network technology. Since the LPGA Tour has been suspended due to the impact of COVID-19, the head-to-head match of world stars is expected to attract the attention of golf fans worldwide. The course is set at the Black Course of Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York, USA. The $10,000 (approximately 12 million KRW) prize money will be donated as a COVID-19 charity fund.



The format is a total of 36 holes match play, with the first round being 18 holes of foursomes (two players alternate playing one ball), and the second round 18 holes of four-ball (two players each play their own ball and the better score is taken). Park In-bi said, "It is amazing that real-time match play is possible with players in distant countries," and added, "I will repay the fans with good play." The event will be broadcast live on Golfzon's official YouTube and Naver TV channels.
