U+ Golf 'Daeyu Winia MBN Women's Open' Morning Broadcast Service

The Only Domestic Live Broadcast of Rounds 1 and 2 in the Morning

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] LG Uplus will broadcast live the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour event, the ‘Daeyu Winia MBN Ladies Open,’ on U+ Golf for three days starting from the 14th.

U+ Golf is the only service in Korea to provide morning broadcasts of the 1st and 2nd rounds. Other services typically start at 12 PM, but LG Uplus is offering a second morning broadcast following the Jeju Samdasoo Masters. During the first morning broadcast, the number of users during the 1st and 2nd rounds increased by 30% compared to the average of tournaments held in June.

LG Uplus stated, "Popular players from the LPGA and JLPGA who have not gone abroad are participating, and we are providing a one-time morning broadcast to show U+ Golf customers their entire matches."

On U+ Golf, on the first day from 8:10 AM, viewers can watch players Shin Ji-ae, Lee Jeong-eun 6, and Choi Hye-jin live; on the second day from 8:30 AM, Kim Hyo-joo, Lee So-young, and Lim Hee-jung will be broadcast live. U+ Golf offers exclusive broadcast services for two groups (6 players) daily during the tournament through two channels dedicated to popular players. If the match schedule changes due to weather delays or other reasons, announcements will be made via the U+ Golf app.

The commentary team remains the same for both days: Channel 1 features commentator Kim Hong-gi and caster Han Hyung-gu, while Channel 2 features commentator Kim Hyung-joo and caster Kim Hyung-chaek. The U+ Golf mobile app can be downloaded for free from Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and One Store regardless of the subscriber’s telecom provider. U+tv customers can watch via the TV app just like on mobile.

During the tournament, U+ Golf will hold various prize giveaway events. Regardless of the telecom provider, users can apply for lessons from exclusive broadcast commentators by submitting their swing videos within the U+ Golf mobile app. Selected users can receive professional advice on their swings either live or via VOD after the broadcast. If a player exclusively broadcast on U+ Golf wins or sets a record, customers who participate in the ‘real-time chat’ during that player’s match will be entered into a drawing to win prizes including ▲department store gift certificates worth 1 million KRW (1 winner), ▲department store gift certificates worth 200,000 KRW (1 winner), and ▲chicken exchange coupons (30 winners).

The Daeyu Winia MBN Ladies Open will be held at Montvert Country Club in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, with a total of 120 players participating, including Lee So-young (23), the current points leader, Park Hyun-kyung (20), the money list leader, and Kim Hyo-joo (25), the leader in average score.
