The record challenges of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour will continue next year.

Lee Ye-won

‘KLPGA rising star’ Lee Ye-won aims to surpass 3.3 billion KRW in the shortest time. She is a star who has won a total of 6 victories, including 3 wins this year. This season, she surpassed a cumulative prize money of 3.21966 billion KRW in 3 years and 6 months. If she adds just 80 million KRW in prize money in the 2025 season, she is expected to become the new record holder. The current record holder is Park Min-ji, who surpassed 3.3 billion KRW in 4 years, 10 months, and 10 days.

Ahn Song-yi is aiming to break the record for the most qualifying round passes. She currently has 269 qualifying round passes. Next year, she could surpass Kim Hae-rim’s 270 and even Hong Ran’s record of 287. Ahn Song-yi debuted on the KLPGA Tour in 2010 and is a veteran with 2 career wins. This year, by participating in the S-OIL Championship, she set a new record for the most appearances (360 tournaments) in history. The previous record holder in this category was Hong Ran (359 tournaments).

‘Record maker’ Park Min-ji is just one win away from tying the KLPGA Tour record for most wins at 20. If she adds 2 wins in the 2025 season, she will surpass the late Gu Ok-hee and Shin Ji-ae to become the new record holder for most wins. Park Min-ji joined the regular tour in 2017 and won only once this year, but she swept 6 wins each in 2021 and 2022. This year, she surpassed a career total prize money of 6.256 billion KRW in 7 years, 7 months, and 14 days, becoming the first in KLPGA Tour history to do so.
