Golfzon Co., Ltd. (CEO Park Kang-soo) announced on the 1st that it will host the 6th event of the '2026 S-OIL SEVEN GTOUR MIXED' at the Daejeon Golfzon Joymaru course on Monday, October 5. A total of 88 male and female professionals, selected based on criteria including season points for the Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year awards, as well as top rankings in performance, will compete in the tournament.

The total prize money for this 6th event is 80 million won (with a first-place prize of 17 million won). The tournament is hosted by Golfzon and main-sponsored by S-Oil Total Energy Lubricants Co., Ltd. The competition will be conducted as a 36-hole stroke play over two rounds in one day, without a cut, using Golfzon's latest simulator, the Two Vision NX Plus Tour Mode (green speed 3.4M). Except for the tee boxes (which have different settings for men and women on each hole), the tournament environment is identical to that of GTOUR and WGTOUR events. The official balls for the MIXED event are the St. Nine N BLACK (3-piece) and St. Nine N GOLD (4-piece).

A total of 88 male and female professionals will participate, including those ranked at the top in GTOUR and WGTOUR Order of Merit points and performance records up to the previous event, as well as top rookies and recommended players. In particular, Jung Chan-min, a prominent long hitter on the KPGA, Kim Chan-woo, known for his long drives and aggressive strategic play, and Yoo Hyo-joo, a KLPGA player recognized for her precise and calm skills, will participate as recommended players, adding to the spectacle.

The course for this tournament, where intense competition between men and women is anticipated, will be revealed on the day of the event.

In the men's division, Lee Seong-hoon and Choi Min-uk, who claimed the Major King titles in the 3rd and 6th GTOUR events respectively, will compete. Kim Hong-taek, who has gained popularity among many golf fans for his skills that bridge the field and screen, Jang Jung-woo and Park Rae-seong, who recorded their first wins on the 2026 season GTOUR, as well as Ha Seung-bin 2, Kim Tae-woo 2, and Soon Ji-ho, who have won MIXED events, will also join in the fierce competition.

In the women's division, Hong Hyeon-ji, a leading multi-winner on the WGTOUR, will compete, with her potential for a second win of the season being a point of interest. Additionally, the competitive play to be shown by Lee Jin-gyeong, who has reported three wins in the 2026 season and is performing actively, is also a key highlight. In addition, Hwi Han-i, Jeon Hye-won 2, and Kim A-ro-mi, who are ranked high in Rookie of the Year points, as well as Mun Se-yeong, Jo Ye-jin, and Bae Jin-ri, who draw gallery cheers with their powerful shots, will also participate.

A prediction event is also being held where participants who correctly guess the top 6 final rankings in GTOUR, WGTOUR, and MIXED will receive GPASS points usable at Golfzon Park and Golfzon Market, among others.
