The World's First 3 Rounds a Day 54-Hole Stroke Play

Applications for the ‘2023 Asia Economy Honam·Jeje CHALLENGE54 Ironman Golf’ will be accepted for two weeks from the 23rd to June 7th.

This tournament is the world’s first official competition to determine the winner through a 54-hole stroke play played over 3 rounds in one day.

It is an open tournament featuring top domestic and international professionals and elite mid-amateur golf masters, with a total prize money of 20 million KRW. The professional winner will receive a large trophy and 5 million KRW in prize money, while the amateur winner will be awarded a large trophy and prizes worth approximately 3 million KRW.

Since the tournament consists of 3 rounds in one day, unlike typical tournaments with about 140 participants, it will be held with a total of 88 players: 40 professionals and 48 amateurs.

Due to the long duration and many rounds, the key factor will be how well players can maintain their physical strength and concentration to demonstrate their skills until the very end. This aspect is expected to introduce many variables affecting the outcome of the championship.

Currently, in the professional category, Park Noseok, who has 9 career wins on the KPGA, has applied to participate at the age of 56, and many players affiliated with the Korea Mid-Amateur Golf Federation are showing great interest, promising fierce competition for the inaugural champion title.

Meanwhile, the ‘2023 Asia Economy Honam·Jeje Ironman Golf’ will be held from July 5th to 7th over 3 days, featuring festivities open to anyone from 36 holes up to 200 holes. Applications can be submitted via the Jeje Band and the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Golf Association.
