Kim Hong-taek won the 2017 Korean Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Korean Tour Busan Open. This year, he has also been actively participating in Korean Tour events, including finishing 18th in last month’s Descente Korea Match Play. Kim said, "I did not expect to win since it has been a while since I last played in a screen golf tournament," adding, "I will continue to showcase play that bridges both screen and field golf."

The G Tour 4th tournament was held at Naejangsan Country Club using Golfzon’s TVision Pro Tour mode. A total of 64 players competed in a 36-hole stroke play format to determine the winner. This season, Shinhan Investment Corp. is the main sponsor of the G Tour. Rolling Rollie, Oris, Dunlop Sports Korea, Golf Buddy, and Esoko Black Maca are among the sub-sponsors.
