This will be the last chance to see Yumin Hwang in person this year.
The 2025 Baeksong Holdings and Busan Ilbo Charity Match, taking place over two days from December 6 at Asiad Country Club in Gijang-gun, Busan, will be the battleground. This tournament is distinctly different from the regular tour events. Players from both the LPGA Tour and the KLPGA Tour will compete against each other. Team LPGA will feature Kim Hyojoo, Choi Hyejin, and Yumin Hwang. Team KLPGA will be represented by Park Hyunkyung, Lee Yewon, and Bae Sohyun.

원본보기 아이콘Yumin Hwang, who won the popularity award on this year's KLPGA Tour, will compete as a member of the LPGA Tour team. Earlier this year, she participated as an invited player in the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship and claimed victory. She is set to make her debut on the U.S. tour next year. For Yumin Hwang, who has three career wins on the KLPGA Tour, this will be her final opportunity to meet fans before heading to the United States.
The total prize money for the Baeksong Holdings and Busan Ilbo Charity Match is 300 million won. The winning team will receive 200 million won, while the runner-up team will receive 100 million won. There will be three singles match play games each day, for a total of six matches over two days. The event will also feature player walking interviews and players wearing microphones during play-features rarely seen on the regular tour-making the on-site experience even more enjoyable. Fifty percent of the prize money will be donated to charitable causes.
