Sponsored by Jeju Island, this tournament is both a festival challenging the completion of 200 holes and an official competition on the last day where golf experts participate to determine the rankings.

Challengers are taking their first tee shots over three days, aiming to complete 200 holes at the 2023 Asia Economy Honam·Jeje Triathlon Golf Festival.

There are 12 challengers for the 200 holes, and about 500 participants take part in the Ironman Golf according to their stamina, challenging their limits from 36 holes up to 200 holes.

The event starts with 72 holes at Golfzon County Ora CC, followed by 54 holes tomorrow at Booyoung CC, and on the last day, participants complete 72 holes again at Golfzon County Ora CC.

In particular, based on last year's tournament results, this event has developed the Ironman Golf competition into an official match, conducting the world's first official competition of 54 holes in three rounds per day.

The official Ironman Golf competition will be held on the last day of the tournament, the 7th, at Golfzon County Ora East and West courses.

Sponsored by the Korea Mid-Amateur Federation and Jeju Golf Association, amateur experts participate under USGA and R&A regulations, determining the winner by stroke play.
