For the second consecutive year, this PGA Tour event was the only one to offer hole-in-one prizes on two holes (14th and 16th) for players and caddies. Will Zalatoris, who made the tournament's first hole-in-one on the 14th hole during the second round, received a GV80, and his caddie Joel Stock received a GV70 Electrified model.

Genesis, the sponsor, provided 220 vehicles during the tournament. Eighteen new cars and concept cars were displayed at key locations around the course. Before the tournament, $50,000 was donated to allow a player who made a hole-in-one at the pro-am event to contribute to charity. Song Min-gyu, head of Genesis Business Division, said, "We will continue to strive to ensure that the hospitality we have learned through sponsoring the tournament is delivered to all our customers."
