Golf apparel brand Amazingcree has wrapped up the Amazingcree Open, its first tournament as a KPGA Tour title sponsor.
The company announced Monday that the four-day event, held from Thursday through Sunday at Flamingo Country Club in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province, concluded successfully.
Established this year, the tournament was created to expand playing opportunities for domestic male professional golfers and provide a competitive stage late in the season. Players were able to earn additional prize money and Genesis Points through the event.
Amazingcree, which had previously sponsored individual professional golfers at home and abroad, used the tournament as a springboard to expand its role to full tour title sponsor.
"It is meaningful that through this inaugural event we were able to give players one more stage to compete and show their potential," an Amazingcree official said. "We will continue to expand our support to encompass players, the tour and fans alike, and contribute to the growth of the domestic golf industry."
