PGA Tour pro Byeong Hun An tried to prank his fans on social media on April Fool's Day (April 1), but later kept his promise and sent a Masters souvenir to his fans. On April 1, the South Korean golfer asked fans to reveal their favorite golfer on X.

Hun An offered to give two weekly tickets for the Masters to the two winners. Intriguingly, he later shared another post, revealing that it was a prank. But he promised to arrange the two Masters tickets for one fan and his son, and also promised to send Masters souvenirs to two other fans.

Byeong Hun An kept his promise and sent the souvenir. One of the fans, Daniel DP, shared the souvenir he received from the professional golfer on X.

Daniel posted a picture of gifts and also penned down a message, expressing his gratitude to Byeong Hun An. He wrote:

"@ByeongHunAn thank you so much!! You’re awesome!! So thankful for this surprise at the front door-good luck the rest of the year and go bears!! Hope to see you up the road at Quail Hollow for the PGA!"
