Professional golf tournaments underway in South Korea

Professional golf is booming in South Korea as of mid-April 2026.

The men's KPGA Tour recently kicked off its 2026 season with the 21st DB Insurance Promy Open.

This season focuses on stability, featuring 20 tournaments and intense rivalries between stars like Ok Tae-hoon and Jang Yu-bin.

Meanwhile, the KLPGA Tour is making history with 31 events, each boasting a prize purse of at least 1 billion KRW.

This financial strength underscores the KLPGA's rapid growth compared to the KPGA’s strategic focus on quality.

International competition remains a major draw, with LIV Golf Korea set to return to Busan in late May.

Whether it is the storied history of the KPGA or the record-breaking scale of the KLPGA, South Korea remains a premier destination for golf fans worldwide.
