The Club D Amateur Eco Championship is an ESG-based golf culture project hosted by the environmental specialist company YIDO since 2023. The tournament aims to foster the next generation of golf players who possess not only skill but also character and a sense of responsibility. This year's event will be broadcast as a recorded program on the SBS Golf channel at the end of this month.

Choi Junghoon, CEO of YIDO, stated, "I hope this tournament served as a turning point for young athletes to grow through real-world experience, beyond simply competing for victory," adding, "We will continue to introduce global-level junior education programs and fulfill our responsible role in creating a sustainable golf ecosystem."
