The Hana Bank Invitational is a men's professional golf tournament currently played in Japan and formerly in South Korea and China. The 2018 event was held in June on the west course at the Lakeside Country Club near Yongin. Prize money was ₩1,000,000,000. In 2019 the event moved to the nearby 88 Country Club with increased prize money of ₩1,200,000,000.

The field includes a number of invited Japanese and Chinese golfers. A similar event, the "Korea-China Tour KEB Invitational", which included Korean and Chinese golfers, was held six times from 2008 to 2010. The event was held twice a year, once in China and once in South Korea.[1]

In 2023, the event moved location to Japan, being played at the Chiba Isumi Golf Club in Otaki, Chiba. The event also gained Japan Golf Tour co-sanctioning.[2]
