The Jeju Samdasoo Masters has gained additional significance by receiving the international ISO 20121 certification last February, recognizing its continuous commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values through sharing and donation activities over the past 10 years. This year’s tournament also features the Jeju Samdasoo Sharing Hole and Donation Hole at holes 8 and 9, where items will be donated to vulnerable groups based on the number of birdies recorded by players. Additionally, one-point lessons prepared by promising Jeju golf talents such as Ko Ji-woo, Hyun Se-rin, Lim Jin-young, Park Sung-hyun, and Yoo Hae-ran will be offered.

Events for galleries visiting the tournament venue have also been arranged. These include fan signings with famous players, a stamp tour, and a splash zone swimming pool. Generous prizes such as tournament hats, umbrellas, and various golf accessories will be provided. Other activities include golf ball and golf bag keyring making, Jeju-themed crafts, and full-swing golf simulator experiences.

Baek Kyung-hoon, President of Jeju Development Corporation, said, “As the first KLPGA tournament of the second half of the year attracts much attention, we have prepared diligently to provide the best experience for both players and galleries. We hope everyone enjoys a refreshing August summer with the Jeju Samdasoo Masters, Jeju’s representative summer sports festival.”
