The first hole-in-one of the tournament was recorded on the 9th hole on the opening day of the "2026 Lexus Masters," a Korean Professional Golf Tour (KPGA) event hosted by Lexus Korea. The achiever was player An Ji-min, who won the electric sedan "All New Lexus ES 350e Premium," which was released domestically in October as a prize.

Player An Ji-min achieved a hole-in-one on the par-3, 172-yard 9th hole during the first round of the tournament held on the 29th at Club72CC Ocean Course, Wonder Club, Yeongjong Island, Incheon. This record marks the first instance since the inception of the Lexus Masters where a Lexus vehicle was provided as a hole-in-one prize and subsequently received by a player.

The 9th hole, where the hole-in-one was recorded, is the space for the signature Masters Lounge, where players' chosen music blends with gallery cheers. The first hole-in-one at this venue, where players and galleries interact, added to the tournament's excitement. Player An Ji-min expressed that she was happy to achieve her second hole-in-one of the season and receive a vehicle prize, noting that it was especially meaningful as an occasion shared with fans.

The "All New Lexus ES 350e Premium" provided as a prize is supported by Lexus Incheon, an official Lexus dealer, and features the battery electric vehicle (BEV) specification of the fully redesigned 8th-generation model. The vehicle offers smooth acceleration performance and a maximum driving range of 478 km on a single charge.

Lexus Korea President Konya Manabu congratulated player An Ji-min on her first hole-in-one and stated that they would continue to operate the tournament in a differentiated manner. A total of five par-3 holes at the Club72CC Ocean Course for this tournament have hole-in-one prizes prepared: the Lexus NX 350h is offered for the 3rd and 8th holes, the All New Lexus ES 350e for the 9th and 17th holes, and a Seram product for the 12th hole.
