KB Financial Group Women's Amateur Golf Championship Opens on the 21st

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] The KB Financial Group Women's Amateur Golf Championship, hosted by KB Financial Group and organized by the Korea Golf Association, will be held for three days from the 21st to the 23rd at the Century 21 Country Club in Wonju, Gangwon Province.

Now in its 15th year, the KB Financial Group Women's Amateur Golf Championship has been a cradle for the birth of Korean women's golf stars. Past champions such as Yoo So-yeon (2007), Kim Hyo-joo (2009), and Ko Jin-young (2012) are currently active on the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour.

Last year's tournament was shortened to two rounds due to the impact of COVID-19, but this year's event will be held in full with three rounds. The winner will earn the opportunity to participate in the 2023 KLPGA Tour major tournament, the 'KB Financial Star Championship.'

Since 2012, KB Financial has been providing development funds to support the growth of Korean amateur golf, and this year, it plans to deliver 300 million KRW in junior golf player development funds to the Korea Golf Association.

A KB Financial representative stated, "We will spare no support to ensure that amateur players, who will grow into future stars of Korean women's golf, can fully demonstrate their skills."
