[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ‘Miso Queen’ Kim Ha-neul (34) and ‘Beauty Golfer’ Yoo Hyun-joo (28) join forces.

On the 26th, they will represent Korea in the ‘Shinhan Financial Investment Korea-China-Japan Golfzon Skins Challenge (photo),’ held simultaneously at the Golfzon Tower Seoul Media Studio in Korea, the Golfzon Shanghai Flagship Store in China, and the Golfzon Studio in Tokyo, Japan. Kim Ha-neul has accumulated a total of 14 wins on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour and the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour, while Yoo Hyun-joo is active both on the field and in golf entertainment shows.

China is represented by Sui Xiang, known as the ‘Goddess of the Continent’ for her skill and appearance, and last year’s China Ladies Professional Golf Association (CLPGA) money leader Liu Wenbo. Notably, Sui Xiang has the unique experience of being the first Chinese player to compete on the KLPGA Tour. Japan’s representatives are ‘next-generation stars’ Yuri Yoshida, a former national team member with two wins on the JLPGA Tour, and Hikari Fujita, who also has two wins after topping the 2013 Q-School.

The total prize money is $40,000 (48 million KRW). The skins game format awards the prize money for each hole to the team that wins that hole. The competition is held in 1-on-1-on-1 matches and modified foursomes. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event will be held without spectators. It will be broadcast live simultaneously in the three countries via the Screen Golfzon channel, Golfzon’s YouTube channel, Naver Sports, China’s Sina Sports and GC China Weibo, and Japan Golf TV.
