"Ball flight reproduced accurately even in the new system"… Ha Seung-bin 2 wins GTOUR MIXED with 17,000,000 won in prize money

12 under par. For a screen golf tournament winning score, that is remarkably high. At Round 4 on May 30, Kim Tae-woo 2 posted a winning score of 29 under par. On August 1, 88 male and female pros stood in front of the screens at Golfzon Joy Maru in Daejeon, and the virtual course 'AI Cheonmunbong CC,' set to difficulty level 4, held them in check.

GTOUR MIXED Round 5 prize money of 80,000,000 won, with 17,000,000 won for the winner

Liberty Korea Post, citing materials distributed by Golfzon, reports that the total prize money is 80,000,000 won and the winner's prize is 17,000,000 won. Because it is a screen golf tour run by Golfzon, the prize money and records are separate from KPGA tallies.

Career prize money listed on Ha Seung-bin 2's official GTOUR player page is 95,717,119 won (as of August 3, 2026), and this is the only career win. Ha Seung-bin 2 (33), born in March 1993, joined the KPGA as a pro in 2012, joined GTOUR in 2023, and won Rookie of the Year in the 2024 season.

A one-stroke thriller, with 4 players tied for second

GTOUR official tournament records show that in the confirmed final standings, the top 5 were packed within 1 stroke. Jeong Chan-min (26), tied for second, is a long hitter with 2 career wins on the KPGA Korean Tour, and Lee Jun-hee is last year's GTOUR Championship winner.

Starting the final round tied for third, Ha Seung-bin 2 combined 1 eagle and 6 birdies and had no bogeys through the 13th hole, Sisa Uichang reported. The player dropped one stroke each on the 14th and 16th holes but held on at the 18th hole to keep a 1-stroke lead.

In the winner's comments, Ha Seung-bin 2 said, "I gained confidence that my ball flight is reproduced accurately even in the new system, so I was able to play with confidence." This event was the first to use the tour mode of the new simulator 'TwoVision NX Plus.' However, the hole-by-hole play record was confirmed only through reports from a single media group, and on the official GTOUR schedule, the MIXED Round 6 (finals on October 5) may still be subject to change.
