Lexus Chooses 'Mutual Prosperity' Over Mass Appeal… Why Is It Focusing on the KPGA's 'Lexus Masters'?

Lexus Korea is hosting the "2026 Lexus Masters" on the Korea Professional Golf Tour (KPGA), marking its third consecutive year of focused sponsorship of the men's golf stage. Behind the decision to support the KPGA tour instead of the KLPGA, which enjoys higher popular popularity, lies a clear philosophy unique to Lexus: actively paying attention to areas that have not received much public spotlight in order to fulfill social responsibility.

Lexus has consistently focused its efforts on fields within our society that are marginalized or have not received sufficient attention. Representative examples include the systematic support of "Young Farmers," young farmers who will lead future agriculture, and activities to discover and sponsor masters and emerging artists who continue traditional Korean craft arts. The venue for this tournament also faithfully reflects this ethos of mutual prosperity by setting up a special exhibition booth showcasing various valuable products directly produced by Young Farmers and artisans, adding deeper significance to the event.

Held at the Ocean Course of Club 72CC on Wonder Island in Yeongjong-do, Incheon, this tournament features top-tier domestic professional golfers such as Heo In-hoe, Jung Chan-min, and Jang Yu-bin, as well as Gong Tae-hyun, who enjoys high popularity on platforms like YouTube. The players are engaged in precise and fierce competition. Notably, at the signature 9th hole (par 3), where players and spectators share music and cheers, player An Ji-min recorded the first hole-in-one of the tournament, winning a new electric sedan, the "All New Lexus ES 350e Premium," as a prize.

Lexus Korea is expanding the stage beyond simple sports marketing to allow skilled domestic male golfers to gain more popular spotlight and opportunities. The Lexus Masters, where a sincere philosophy of social contribution toward marginalized areas is perfectly combined with the balanced development of sports, accurately proves the value of sustainable mutual prosperity that a premium brand pursues.
