Byeong Hun An forced to buy Masters tickets for fans as his ‘April Fools joke’ go sideways

Byeong Hun An played a little Masters April Fools' joke on his fans on social media. However, he eventually kept his word and gave away a couple of tickets to them.

Hun An is a two-time winner on the DP World Tour and also plays regularly on the PGA Tour. On Tuesday, April 1, he announced that he would give away two Masters tickets to lucky winners.

"I have two weekly tickets left for the Masters. Like this tweet and comment your favorite golfer. I’ll announce two winners in exactly an hour from now. Good luck," he wrote on X.

A little later, the South Korean golfer revealed that it was a prank.

"First of all, any replies besides Ben An is wrong," he wrote. "Second, This was supposed to be an April fools joke… BUT I would like to arrange two Wednesday tickets to @WoodyBishop and his son maverick (shoot me a dm your info please) Instead of tix @CLARS24 and @DannyD3493 will get the official Masters souvenirs," he wrote.
