Ryu Jun Yeol served as a caddie for professional golfer Tom Kim (Kim Joo Hyung) at The Masters at the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, on April 10.
The Masters is arguably the most prestigious event in the golfing world, distinguished not only by its rich tradition but also as the only major tournament held at the same course annually. Adding to its unique charm is the Par 3 contest held every Wednesday during the tournament week. This event allows participating players to invite family members or friends to join in the fun by serving as their caddies, blending professional competition with personal fun. On April 10, C-JeS studio announced, “Ryu Jun Yeol will participate in the Par 3 contest at The Masters thanks to his close relationship with Tom Kim.” It has been reported that Tom Kim invited actor Ryu Jun Yeol, with whom he has been friends for a long time.
