The Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) reported that a large number of KPGA Tour players will participate in the Asian Tour's International Series Macau Presented by Wynn (total prize money of $2 million) to be held this weekend.
This year's event will take place at the golf and country club (par 70 and 6,637 yards) in Macau, China for four days from May 20 to May 23. It is the second Asian Tour International Series tournament of this season.
In particular, it is drawing more attention as it is at stake to participate in the "D-Open Championship" in July this year. Attention is focusing on whether Korean players will win tickets as the top three will be eligible to participate in the "D-Open Championship."
According to the KPGA, KPGA stars, including last year's 67th KPGA Championship with A-ONE CC champion Jeon Ga-ram (30) and "The Charity Classic 2024 winner Cho Woo-young (24, Woori Financial Group), challenged the tournament.
In addition, Lee Jung-hwan (34, Woori Financial Group), Kim Hong-taek (32, DB Insurance), Lee Soo-min (32, Woori Financial Group), Lee Dae-han (35, L&C Bio), Kim Bi-oh (35, Hoban Construction), Kang Kyung-nam (42, Daesun Construction), Moon Do-yeop (34, DB Insurance), Park Eun-shin (35, Hana Financial Group), Lee Sang-hee (33), Ok Tae-hoon (27, Keumgang House), Jung Chan-min (26, CJ), Youngsoo Kim (36), Cho Min-gyu (37, Woori Financial Group), Hwang Jung-gon (33, Woori Financial Group), Han Seung-soo (39, Hana Financial Group), Taehoon Lee (35), and Wang Jeong-hoon (30) will also be on the list. Jang Yoo-bin (23), who has been playing in LIV Golf since this season, is also on the list of participants.
KPGA explained that the reason why a large number of KPGA Tour players participated was because the KPGA Tour and Asian Tour International Series expanded the qualifications of KPGA Tour players from this year.
The number of eligible players to participate in the International Series, which only allowed one of the top five Genesis points or higher, has increased to eight. As a result, eight of the players in the top 15 Genesis points of the KPGA Tour in the 2024 season will be able to participate in the International Series, which will be held in full field this season.
"This is a combination of the KPGA Tour's international status and competitiveness of the tour," the KPGA said. "The KPGA has focused on sports diplomacy since last year, including boosting its work with overseas tours and expanding mutual exchanges. In particular, the KPGA has been focusing its efforts on expanding routes for KPGA tour players to advance overseas." 온라인바카라
