[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour has established the HueN Care Ladies Open.

On the 15th, a tournament signing ceremony was held at the secretariat in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It fills the vacancy left by the LPGA Tour BMW Ladies Championship, which was scheduled in Busan but canceled due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The event will be held for four days starting October 22 at South Links Golf Course in Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do. The total prize money is 800 million KRW. Samyang International is a distribution company dealing with environment, lubricants, building materials, and golf products.

The tournament title, HueN Care, is the company’s hygiene and environment brand. Vice Chairman Ha Young-bong said, "I am grateful for the opportunity to support the players, the association, and the public even a little," adding, "I hope everyone finds comfort watching the wonderful play of the players participating in this tournament, which will be held under thorough quarantine measures." After a six-week 'break' following the Daewoo Winia MBN Ladies Open last month, the KLPGA Tour will resume on the 25th with the Phantom Classic.
