DB Securities to Host the 1st DB Securities Office Worker Golf Championship in November

DB Securities (CEO Kwak Bongseok) is creating a new stage for amateur golfers who are office workers. On September 16, DB Securities announced that it will host the "1st DB Securities Office Worker Golf Championship" at Rainbow Hills Country Club (CC) in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, from November 2 to November 9.

Eligibility for the tournament is limited to "teams of two employees from the same corporation with at least 10 employees." A total of 120 teams (240 participants) will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and the participation fee is 280,000 won per person (caddie fee not included). Reflecting the unique nature of office worker golf, the tournament requires company-based team participation rather than individual entries.

The tournament will be held in three stages: preliminaries, semifinals, and finals. The preliminary round, to be held on November 2, will be played as an 18-hole stroke play, with the top eight teams advancing to the semifinals. The semifinals and finals, held over two days on November 8 and 9, will use a 9-hole foursome match play format. In particular, the semifinals and finals will determine the winning team through a best-of-five holes system, heightening the tension and excitement of the matches. The semifinals and finals will be broadcast on SBS Golf as a recorded program.

The winning team will receive a trophy and a prepaid voucher worth 20 million won for use at Rainbow Hills, while the runner-up team will receive a prepaid voucher worth 10 million won. All participants will receive commemorative gifts and meals valued at 300,000 won, ensuring everyone enjoys the tournament experience.

A DB Securities representative stated, "This tournament was organized to help office workers communicate and build teamwork through sports, while also promoting golf as a lifestyle sport. Although it is our first tournament, we are making thorough preparations to ensure a high level of quality. We expect it to become more than just a competition, serving as a venue to strengthen bonds among colleagues and spread corporate culture."

DB Securities plans to make sports culture events for office workers a regular occurrence, starting with this tournament. The company intends to hold the tournament annually, gradually increasing the number of participants and establishing itself as the leading brand for office worker golf tournaments.

Registration opens on September 16, and applications can be submitted through the websites of SBS Golf, DB Securities, and Rainbow Hills Country Club. For inquiries regarding the tournament, please contact the tournament secretariat.
