Корейский тур - это мужской профессиональный гольф -тур, управляемый Ассоциацией профессиональных гольфистов Кореи (KPGA) Южной Кореи . В 2011 году общий призовой деньги составлял около 14 миллионов долларов США .
Профессиональный гольф в Корее восходит к середине 20 -го века. Корейский профессиональный чемпионат по гольфу и Корейский Открытый чемпионат были запущены в 1958 году, а KPGA была основана в 1963 году. В течение следующих десятилетий были созданы различные другие турниры.
Туры KPGA служат кормушками для более богатых туров по всему миру. Значительное количество корейских игроков в гольф сыграло в азиатском туре и в Японском туре по гольфу , а некоторые попали в PGA Tour или The European Tour . Примечательными примерами включают Ян Юн-Эн , который был первым корейским, выигравшим мужской чемпионат по гольфу , и К.Дж. Чой , первого победителя в PGA Tour, чей самым заметной победой была чемпионат игроков 2011 года .
In June 2004, the tour signed a title sponsorship agreement with Seoul Broadcasting System, being renamed as the SBS Korean Tour. The agreement was reported to be worth ₩15,000,000,000 over five years.[1]
In December 2022, it was announced by the European Tour that the KPGA had extended their partnership with them and the PGA Tour. As part of the expansion, the leading player on the Korean Tour Order of Merit was given status onto the European Tour for the following season.[2]
Main tour
[edit]In 2011, there were 17 events on the main tour. All these tournament have prize funds of at least 300 million won (approximately US$300,000). Four have prize funds of 1 billion won (US$1 million) while the Ballantine's Championship has a prize fund of 2.2 million euros (approximately US$3.1 million). Total prize money for the tour is approximately 12 billion won (US$12 million).
Until 2011, regular Korean Tour events did not carry Official World Golf Ranking points. The first regular tournament to carry World Rankings Points was the 2011 Twayair Open.[3] Korean Tour events carry a minimum of nine OWGR points for the winner, increased from six in 2016.
Other KPGA tours
[edit]The KPGA launched a developmental tour in 1999. In 2007 there are two developmental tours. Both of them consist of two-day, 36-hole tournaments, and the dates of the tours do not clash. The Bear River Tour consists of ten tournaments with prize funds of 60 million won (US$60,000) each, and the SBS Golf Calloway Tour has eight tournaments with prize funds of 40 million won (US$40,000) each.
The KPGA also runs a senior tour and a series of events for teaching pros. The Korean Senior Open Golf Championship was launched in 1996.
Women's professional golf has a high profile in South Korea, due to the immense international success of Korean women golfers such as Pak Se-ri since the mid-1990s. There is a separate LPGA of Korea Tour for women.
