Korean Tour·DP World Tour "Holding $2 Million Tournament in Incheon"
[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] The Korea Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) is joining forces with the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and the PGA Tour.
On the 14th, the three organizations announced, "Through continuous discussions, we have decided to strengthen cooperation in various areas such as expanding players' pathways to global tours, establishing joint strategies for broadcasting rights, and commercial growth."
Key points include granting 2023 DP World Tour status to the 2022 KPGA Korean Tour Genesis Award winner and hosting co-sanctioned events between the Korean Tour and the DP World Tour. This year’s Genesis Award winner, Kim Young-su, will receive a one-year DP World Tour card for next season and will also participate in the Genesis Scottish Open, co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
