This tournament was held over three days from May 17 at the High1 Country Club (par 72), with 126 Dream Tour players, all registered as full KLPGA members, competing fiercely. The event served as a platform providing participants with real-world experience and growth opportunities, as well as a stepping stone toward advancing to the regular tour.

High1 Resort showcased stable tournament management based on its experience in hosting 14 KLPGA regular tour events. The company once again demonstrated the competitiveness of its sports tourism content by providing excellent course conditions and a well-managed environment, earning praise from players and officials alike.

In the 2026 Dream Tour, professional golfer Sohye Park claimed the trophy with an impressive score of 11-under-par over three rounds, totaling 205 strokes. High1 Resort-affiliated players Han-Gyeol Jeong, Eun-Soo Ryu, Jeong-Hyun Kim, and Jeongbin Cho also participated but finished with disappointing results after close contests.

Lee Min-ho, Acting Head of Tourism Marketing at Kangwon Land, stated, "This Dream Tour provided a meaningful stage of challenge for domestic golf prospects, which is very rewarding. We will continue to strengthen the unique brand competitiveness of High1 Resort through various sports marketing activities and by hosting more tournaments in the future."

Meanwhile, Kangwon Land is scheduled to host the "2026 High1 Resort Women's Open Regular Tour" in July 2026 and plans to continue its efforts to revitalize the region by linking tourism and sports, as well as to contribute to the development of the domestic sports industry.
