The prize money has been increased by 100 million won to a total of 1.5 billion won, making this the largest tournament of the season and even more intense competition is expected.
This year, the KLPGA's top players will once again compete in a fierce shot battle to win the championship trophy.
In what is expected to be a fierce battle, defending champion Park Hyun-kyung will begin his title defense.
Park Hyun-kyung said, "The moment I won this tournament last year is now.
The shot is also clear. In particular, on the fourth hole of the playoff, when his second shot with a wood was a perfect hit, like a 1 in 100 chance, and he made it onto the green in two, he couldn't hide his emotions.
"I was overwhelmed," he recalled, adding, "It's an honor to be back on this stage as the defending champion. I hope I can defend my title, but first I need to improve my match sense."
"I want to focus on my game and play a good match," she said. However, last week at the Mediheal Hankook Ilbo Championship, she showed her excellent shot sense and won the 72-hole title of the all-time KLPGA Tour.
Hong Jung-min (23), who broke the record for fewest strokes and rose to the top of the prize money rankings, will be aiming for his second consecutive victory and his first three wins in a season.
Hong Jeong-min said, "I feel very emotional about taking on the challenge of winning two consecutive weeks after recording the lowest number of strokes in 72 holes in the history of the KLPGA Tour.
"It's deep. It's still a bit awkward to say that I've won three games in a season, but I want to focus and take on the challenge," he said, adding, "I'm feeling good about my shots, and I'm hitting the shots I intended.
"I want to take good care of my health so I don't get tired and continue my good form," he said confidently. Meanwhile, Lee Ye Won (22), who is aiming for his fourth win of the season, and Pana, who unfortunately came in second place at last year's tournament,
Koo Jiyeong will also be competing for the championship again. The gallery is paying close attention to who will take home the top prize money at the end of the four-day fierce battle in the scorching heat.
