He was named No. 1 in the “2024 Asian Golf Industry’s Most Powerful People of 2024” released by Golf Inc., a U.S. golf magazine. It is the second consecutive year that he has won the award, following 2023. Golf Inc. said of Chairman Kim, “He has contributed greatly to the popularization of domestic golf and the development of the global golf industry by introducing screen golf that combines golf, IT, and culture to the world.”
Since its first overseas expansion in 2009, Golf Zone has provided golf simulator products with unique technology to more than 7,700 screen golf stores in 63 countries around the world. As of February this year, 44,000 golf zone simulators are in operation at home and abroad. As of 2023, a total of 97 million rounds have been conducted both domestically and internationally.
Chairman Kim established the Golf Zone Cultural Foundation in 2010 to support cultural artists and support and volunteer activities for the vulnerable in the community. In 2015, he established the Yuwon Golf Foundation to promote the development of golf dreamers and players, and to promote the publication of the “Golf Industry White Paper” to develop the golf industry.
In May 2000, Chairman Kim established “Golf Zone,” a screen golf venture company, and established businesses such as field golf, golf equipment distribution, and golf academy to grow into the “Golf Zone Newdine Group.” Currently, Golf Zone Newdine Group has grown into a global golf platform company with more than 2,400 employees at its headquarters. Golf Zone has established “Golf Zone America” in the U.S., serving as a foothold for developing businesses and opening new markets in the U.S. In February last year, he opened the first store of “Golf Zone Social,” a complex golf culture space with a concept of a sports pub, at the Palisades Center in New York.
Golf Zone County, a golf course operator, added a lease operation for Golf Zone County in November last year. It has continued to operate as a golf course total service company that operates 450 holes (20 golf courses) in Korea. Golf Zone Commerce, a golf equipment distribution company, operates offline stores in the golf zone market at 108 locations nationwide. It offers differentiated services such as “Trufit,” a fitting center that suggests customized clubs for individuals, and “Golf Zone Market Neighborhood,” a used club specialist.
Chairman Kim said, “Golf Zone is being evaluated as expanding the base of golf by confidently entering the domestic as well as the world stage,” adding, “I am honored to be named an influential person every year.” “We will continue to contribute to the development of the domestic and overseas golf industry as a global golf platform company based on the technology of Golf Zone Newdin Group.” 안전 토토사이트
